piano stool legs and now will tell you
just what / thought they were like.
There was a beautiful fairy queen
with Wavy golden hair that was like
tiny threads of gold. She wore silvery
shlmmering robes that f1oated about
her like cloud. Her wings were like
white moth, so white and gauzy.
Her court was composed of little fairies
IN many colored gowns. These were
the rainbow fairies, while others were
all in white.
Every night they had a ball by the
moonlight and a fairy prince came on
q big golden butterfly to join them.
He wore a black velvet suit trimmed
In gold and had a large hat with nod
ding plumes.
He and the queen would open the
ball with a stately minuet or some dig
n1fied dance. After dancing awhile
they would have a fairy banquet and
then dance until morning. when the
prince would fly away to return again
the next moonlight night
l often saw the rainbow fairies dane
ing when the sun would shine a certain
way on the crystals to make many
colored lights.
Of course this is all what I thought
a long time ago, for 1 don't believe in
fairies any more.

I am new Junior, but am going to
write on this topic, do You Believe
in Fairies?'
When [ was little I did believe IN
fairies, but now I do not think so.
There may be fairies for the little

not seem so.

endeavored to sedlce the legislators of

is one if -e be guilty on which the law
provides a penalty. The one on which
Hitchcock is accused is unpunishable.
If both men were supposed to be guilty

possibility of legal vindication it
would seem he can do no less than
