Fairiol's messenger, • "TIPPETY TOES." "Oh, how lovely!" cried Forget-me-not, bnt suddenly she grew quiet'and sad. "Oh-o-o, I haven't got a pretty dress to go in!" sho sobbed. At that instant a knock was heard at her door. Quickly sho opened the door, and seeing Tippety-Toes, she gasped. "Queen Fairiel wants you," he said. Soon they ■ were floating to the palace in which the. Queen lived. .When they reached there, Forget-me-not wished the Queen many happy returns of the day, and Forget-me-not was wished tho same thing.
