The Letter.

They lit the fire and fairies came
To dance In flying cloaks OF hame.
They drew the curtains and the day
Entered the room divine and gay.
Still in her rainbow dawn disguise:
with robe OF rose and amethyst.
And silver hood of morning mist
Drawn down to hide her golden eyes
And there was came in with her,
winged. n dainty messenger.
A little page from Loves own court.
And lovely news of you he brought.
My fairy Prince so far AWAY,
So far away from fairyland,
] find 1t hard to understand
That / shall see your face to-day.
The morning only waits for you
To make II perfect how that piue
Unclouded color OF the skies
Reminds me Of your great blue eyes,
And that red rose-cup full of rain
Wakes dreams OF your dear mouth. and
there
The light Is golden like your hair.
oh. miracle of joy and pain,
To hold you In my arms again!

Shadow Buff.

This game, II well played. is great
fun. A large white sheet is first
hung securely on one SIDE Of the room
and on a table, some distance behind,
very bright lamp must be placed.
Then the players, take it in turn to
sit on stool facing the sheet. while
the rest pass behind, between him
and the lamp. AS the shadows are
thrown on the sheet the sitter has to
guess who the shadow represents.
This is more difficult than MANY
people imagine. because you may dis.
guise yourself in any way, or make
absurd grimaces or gestures, which
makes the guessing far harder.
