Happy Lines.
"FAIRY TIDY-OP." There's a fairy. I am certain, In my nursery, For every morning, when I go to play, I find dolls ami playthings. Which I hart left about. All tidily and neatly put away. Last evening all my dollies had a party. For Golliwog invited them to tea; I sat them round too table In the middle of the room. And left them all as happy as could be. I weut in there next morning just to find them, Expecting to continue at my game, But all the things were cleared a-way. And each dear doll in bed It certainly was not a bit the same. Found by "ROSE PETAL" (U). Brooklyn. "THE FLOWER." I saw a. flower beside the gate. It was at yester-noon; It looked all long and delicate. The colour of the moon. It had a little shining eye. That smiled at me as I weut by. Found by "SWEET LAVENDER." (11) Keltmrn. "THE SONG OF THE PRIMROSE." Tlio Primrose opens wido in spring; Her scent is sweet and good: It smells of every happy thing In sunny lane and wood. I have not half the skill to sing "And praise her as I should. She's dear to folk throughout the land; In her is nothing mean: She freely spreads on every hand Her petals pale and clean; And though she's neither proud nor grand She is the- Country's Queen. Found by "EPAMENONDAS" (12).
