DWARF'S WONDERFUL
MAGIC BANQUET
Continued from Page SKI


passed the dwarf he said: you shall
always be happy Then a beautiful
lady came next and said: You shall
always be welcome in fairyland.' And
one after another of the fairies gave
him gift. They beheld a beautiful
sight when they entered the hall, for
there was table with a cobweb table,
cloth spread with dainties.
When they had finished this grand
feast, the dwarf said: Now that you
all are through, l will bid you good
bye" Then for the second time they
heard crashing, roaring sound. and
before they could say seat! they found
themselves once more on the shore, the
dwarf and castle having vanished.
They all boarded the ship once more
and with the ringing of bells and sing
ing OF fairies they f1oated out of sight.

POOR POLLY.
My Dear Polly:
Here are a few suggestions for your

more enjoyable than many more for
NAL affairs. Have your invitations
written in indelible pencil on butchers

simply enclose them in a yellow enve-
lope.
For your refreshments serve pork
and beans in little brown earthenWare
ramekins, brown bread, gingerbread
coffee, stick candy, and have tin horns
and clay pipes for favors. The follow
ing quotations are suitable as toasts or
to write on the name cards, and they
are all regarding poverty:
blind man is poor man, and blind poor
man is
For the former sees no man, and the latter no
man sees.
