    1. [KSWYANDO] Bebe - Kansas City, MO - January 1922
    2. John O'Brien
    3. "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Saturday, January 28, 1922 JUST A SLIGHT MISTAKE. Bebe is a girl, 3 years old. Recently Bebe and her 5-year-old sister have been induced to try sleeping in a room to themselves. It has called for coaxing, bribing and long continued efforts to bolster up the courage of the two. Bebe's especial fear has been of dogs. "Bebe, you know a big girl like you should not be afraid of dogs. They couldn't get into your room at night, for all the doors are closed and the windows are high up, too high for the dogs to jump." This reassurance from Bebe's mother. It was not until the other afternoon, when two women called at Bebe's home that the mother had any evidence that her attempts at reassurance had succeeded. Bebe burst into the room where the visitors were seated, in the midst of a very "successful" call. "Why, hello, Bebe," exclaimed one of the two women who had been a rather frequent visitor to the home some months ago. "You are not afraid of me any longer, are you?" Bebe hesitated a moment; she looked from one visitor to the other. Then said, with the utmost deliberation: "I'm not afraid of big dogs, and I'm not afraid of little dogs. My mamma said I wasn't." ======================================================
