DEAR ONES,—

Who'll paint our picture? -tlutt ever-so-angry little man simply dancing with rage, and the big, placid thrush trespassing all over his front garden? "Daughter of Flage" drew it for you, so very cleverly . . . and you must paint with tremendous care to do it justice. Any elf from twelve-to-fifteen may try this time ... and remember that mounts are to count in the judging as well. You know now to see that your names-and-ages, as well as pixie names, must be written on the back. Next week will come the small pixies' painting, for elves not yet turned twelve. I tried to squeeze it in this week, but truly and honestly, the birds took all the room! Still, it is the Birds' Page to-night, so I know my smallests won't mind waiting one week . ..

All amongst the birds, I send you my love . . .'and a special thought to every pixie who has remembered the little feathered ones and cared for them this month.

FAIRIEL.
