Princess Forget-Me-Sot.

Princess Forget-Me-Not.
Once upon time there was little
girl, who lived with her mother. She
was called Sophie Murton; she was a
very pretty little girl but she knew
it far too much, and so it spoiled her.
She was always looking in the glass,
and when she went out to tea or 4
party she always wanted to see if the
bow in her hair was all right or if her
brooch was straight, and sometimes
she would pull her hair down several
times, if her maid had not done it
quite as she liked.
Her mother thought she was the
most lovely and good child that ever
lived, and she liked her much better
than Alice. her younger sister, who
really was much the nicer of the two,
but she was plain, and had prominent
eyes and very snub nose. They
lived in beautiful house at b, in
Scotland, surrounded by trees and
lovely mountains.
One night, when these two were
fast asleep in their cosy little beds
(they each had separate rooms), little
Alice woke up and it was quite light,
although it was midnight Suddenly
voice from n corner of the room
said: 'What is your greatest wish,
Alice?"
"Who is it speaking? Oh, do tell
me- said frightened Alice.
Don't be afraid; it is only the
Princess Forget-MeNot."
al 10,
any very great wish, but please tell
me who you"-but she mad not time to
say the last word, for before her stood
lovely lady, dressed completely in
pale blue.
She said to Alice, "Come with me;
want co take you somewhere" and
before Alice knew where she was she
was gliding swiftly through the air,
and suddenly they settled on the
ground. And there was Alice sitting
down, with the princess by her, OPEN
ing an iron door.
Come down here, Alice, we are GO
ing down we'll" So saying, she
opened the door and they foated
softly down.
won't you get your lovely dress
wet?" said Alice
"Yes; but can make that all right
as soon as we are at the bottom" All
at once they bumped and the princess
opened another door. They were in n
most perfect garden, with flowers
everywhere, and little stream which
looked quite like an ordinary one to
Alice.
"Now," said the princess, 81 am
going to dry your dress" SO she
dipped the little girl into lovely cool
water, and when she came out her
dress was quite dry, and Alice looked
had changed to most beautiful
child, instead of the plain one she was
before. They walked on, and went up
a well this time, and suddenly Alice
found herself in her own little bed,
after great whiz through the air.
The next night the same thing hap
pened to Sophie, but instead of being
pretty, she was made plain as pun
ishment for being so very vain.
Soap Bubbles.
If you have ever tried blowing soap
bubbles, and fancy most of you have,
you already know what n fascinating
amusement it is. Heretofore you have
used only pipe in blowing the bub-
bles, and no doubt believed that other
means were not possible. But my
little friends have many things to
learn, and among them how to create
the glistening bubbles by new and
improved method.
You have been in the habit of maxi
ing the soap bubble solution with
warm water and CASTLE soap, have
you not? Try adding few drops of
glycerine to the water which must be
almost thick with soap and you will
obtain all the pretty primary hues,
which you know are the colors of the
rainbow. The object of having the
water very soapy is to produce n
stronger film and thus n more durable
bubble. When the film or outside of
a bubble is very frail and thin the air
inside presses against and quickly
breaks it.
For the bubbles which we are to UNI
dertake to-day secure clay pipe, a
rubber tube, which you can buy OF
any druggist, and wire ring some
what larger than the rim of the pipe.
Fastcn a handle to the ring by which
to hold it. By-the-bye, you might
have two such rings, and neatly cover
one of them with piece of felt, the
