DEAR ONES.

This morning a cheeky, chirpy sparrow came and perched upon my window-sill, cocking his small head and looking al me with his wise, black eyes. , > ' He chirruped once . ... he chirruped twice . . . and then he (lew away! But I know what he was explaining . ». . and I know what he was thinking, behind those wise, black eyes" of his. First he politely mentioned the weather, and then he. continued: 'In a tubbish-bin, wrapped around my breakfast, I found a promise about a Bjrd Page. In the Fairy Ring it was," . ._ ~ Do you know anything about il. Fairiel?" , '«-, ' ! Very hurriedly I said yes. I did. and could he wait just for a week? Because my elves were slill catching their; small bits .of birds, and we didn't want the smallest pigeon or--"Uie babiest chicken lo be left out. Il was then my sparrow chirruped a second time, very happily and very pleased . . . and flew away. Now he is probably telling all his friends-and-relations about' it, down by the dust-bin. . -. . '. So we really will have our Bird Page straight atoay and immediately, darlings ... • ' - . Next Saturday, shall we? Very well we shall! .Some of the sparrow's friends-and-relations are leaving quite early for their winter holidays, you see, and ihey do want to see it before 'they1 go. A whole week of happy days to you, Faiiy Ring! '
