THE FAIRY. PAINTER

NE FAIRY FAINTER
Way off in the land Of ice and
snow there dwells the most won
derful fairy, and he is one of the
Snow Kings best friends. He is
dressed in the silvery white of the
snow, and always carries his play
things with him. What do you
suppose his playthings are? The
queerest icicle pencils and snow
brushes! You see he is an artist,
and we call him Jack Frost"
AS soon as he thinks 1t is time
Tor his friend the Snow King to
come and visit the earth, little Jack
mounts his fast horse, the North
Wind, and rides down from Snow
! Land. When he reaches the earth
. in the middle of the night he gay
ly skips about to draw pictures on
! the windows of peoples houses in
Rhonor of the Snow Kings coming.
Sometimes he draws whole forests
of trees or pretty castles, and
sometimes he just whitewashes the
windows with his icy brushes.
But there Is one queer thing
about this fairy: 7 Every place he
. steps the plants Id the gardens die.
That lis because he painted pic
ture of a witch which very much
displeased her. In fact, they say
It made her so angry that she be-
witched his feet, telling him that
henceforth whenever he visited
the earth he would kill the green
plants and the flowers.
So you see poor Jack really
can't help destroying the flowers,
and because he Is SO sorry for
that he tries to make up for it by
doing us kindnesses whenever he
