THE MISSING BUCKLE
(Original.) j i There was Buch -a. bustle^ in *he fairy dressmaker's shop, for Lady Summer had ordered her visiting djtsiss to be made, and now no one could, find tho golden buckle! '
Everybody was so busy hunting for it that they did not see a small fairy slip out on- td tho sunny road. This fairy's name was Dewspray, and she had seen the pixie Uno takevit, but at the time she was too frightened to call out.
Running ujj to lino's plaea, Dewspray looked-in-the window, arid there on the tablo was'the gold tmcklle. Uuo was nowhere to be seen, so Detwspray rushed through the door, snatdied up tho buckle, ana ran back to the shop. Bushing m, she cried, "I have found the buckle!"
Shn was surrounded by fairies. "Where did you get it?" they asked, but Dewspray said, "I shall not give away the secret," and so the fkiries had to be content with that. When Lady Summer heard the story, she made Dewspray her private dressmaker, and you may be sure that TJno, sqared. of jbeing": found out, never took other people 'a thingfc again. "SUNSET' MIST." (13) Lower Hutt. *
