Then I would view the old cornfield

planter. I would go way down by the
old black walnut tree, come back by
the persimmon thicket and get lap
full of same. And after visiting all

Dear Aunt Laurie:
ON CHRISTMAS evening when I

startled to hear a voice say:
''Hello!" 1 looked around and saw
a large owl. He said: "Come jump

jumped on and away we went. Far
up above the clouds we flew, higher,
still higher, till we had reached the
moon. The owl said: "Hoot, hoot!"
1 jumped off and found myself in
fairyland. A little fairy ~came out to
greet us. She invited US to come in
and stay a while, but the owl said
he would have to go back We babe
him good night, and after I had
thanked him for his kindness he de-
parted.
Then 1 went inside with the fairy.
Many other fairies were sitting around
the fireplace in which fire was blaz-
ing.
looked around with wonder at the
many curious things. Their fireplace
was dark clouds, the fire was the
beautiful sunset; their lights were lit
tie stars, and their curtains were the
Milky Way.
Just then a messenger boy brought
an invitation to them to visit the
queen Of the fairies who lived on the
Bethlehem star. We started out by
way of the Milk Maids Path.
Just then 1 stumbled and fell. WAX

sitting by the fireplace and that my
