How Zephyr Carried Flowers to the

Little West Wind was very busy on
Memorial day. He had to dry UP the
dew and blow about the smell Of the
flowers which the people were carrying
in their professions till the air was all
sweet
81 wish had some flowers to carry"
he sighed when at last he found time to
rest Il minute.
81 know what" he said TO himself
with a whistle. There is dandelion
gone to seed, and the little soft plumes
are just Us pretty as flowers"
SO he puh'ed lightly on the dandelion,
and all the seeds began to dance. Then
he lifted them gently and carried them
through the air like Il feet of little
white boat. and dropped them in that
corner Of the cemetery where poor peo-
pie were buried and there We're hardly
any flowers.
Nov, goodby, my dears," he said.
Il must go to the other side of the
world and help the little Chinese boys
to fly their kites
The next year they had all turned into
golden flowers. And every one of them
nodded its pretty head to him. as if to
say I'VE remember youths Com
