“FAIRY ANTICS."
Did you ever go out walking j In the misty morning air, And on the grass and bushes i See cobwebs hanging fair, } Of softest lace, all studded With diamonds clear and bright, i And wonder how those perfect things > Could come there in a night? Just bend your ear and listen, While I whisper, soft and low, (For its a magic secret That just a few may know) The fairies went in bathing. Tn the mists that floated by. And left their filmy bathing suits ' A-hanging there to dry! —Ethel M Brainerd,
