. "Well, my cherubs, have you-clone your -work?" spoko Lady Spring t« her elves. "Yes,' your Majesty," chorused the" elves. '- ' ' •- "Well, I ha\-e another job,for you. Go to Fairiel and invite her to my ball to-morrow." "Yes, your Majesty," said the elves. ' -' The next night all the Fairy Ring arrived in Lady Spring's magnificent castle. First came Queen Fairiel, borne swiftly in her gold chariot, followed by Fairy Blue-eyes, ' Princess Rosalind, and Princess o' the' Mist. Mexican Bill chased King Cole all over the palace, and Stoiygirl began to write stories on White Pheasant's best"shirt. Micky the Mouse began eating the daffodil salad till One Lire Ghost' scared him away. Then a page appeared and blew a trumpet," announcing Lady; Spring's anival. There was ar rustla of skirts, and in walked Lady Spring, dressed in a gorgeous gown of moonbeams and spangled dew. After ths ball Lady Spring called Fairiel to hei; and told Fairiel this story: I upon a timr, in Fairyland, them lived two b/own bears and one black one. One of the brown bears was very nosy and selfish, but his brother and the black bear wci.e unselfisti. and kind. One day Bruin bear found a pond of sticky white Bubstance, so being nosy plunged in; but after, to his dismay, he could not get the sticky stuff off. The Queen was very angry "whea she heard that her flower paint had been used up, so she sent Bruin to the Polar Regions in Mortal-land. This she said would be just right for him, because the snow was white and he was white. The other two boars,. however, lived in whichever part of Mor-tal-land they chose. This is 'the reason why polar bears arc white and 'live in the Polar Regions." "Thank you, Lady Spring, for your story," said the Fairy Ring gratefully. "I won't' eat any white stuff," avowed Micky the Mouse, but in the morning Bushranger found him eating Story girl's writing paper, so 'Mickj; did break his vow. "TUI." ' Pcfone. "Last Monday week wo. went to the Botanical Gaidens. All the , flower* _ weio beautiful. The jonquils and daffodils arc growing on the banks." ' "COLLEEN MOORE" (10). Brooklyn.
