DREAMS OF BEING FAIRY

Dear Aunt Laurie
All the little fairies had come to the
palace of Fairyland to choose queen
for the next day, May day. They all
met at the silver gates until the prln-
cess should come to meet them.
They played in the gardens among
the beautiful flowers until the princess
said it was time to choose queen
Everyone said they would like 10
have little Princess RoSalie for their
May queen.
Rosalie was very happy when she
went to her little gold bed with pretty
cobweb covers that night. She asked
her fairy godmother if she would not
make the next day as joyful as pos
sible for each one, She soon tell
asleep.
All the fairies came but one, just as
she wanted them to. This little fairy
was very poor. Her name was sun
shine Sunshine had no cobweb coV-
ers to keep her warm at night, nor a
gold bed to sleep in as Rosal1e had.
Rosalie's father had a large May
mole put up for the little fairies, who
danced and played until they were
tired They then went under the trees
and ate little dainties passed to them.
They drank dewdrops from the fowers.
Rosalie had very nice time, out
she kept thinking of Sunshine anu
wished she had invited her.
While Rosalie was enjoying herself
she saw a messenger come through the
silver gates driving two beautiful but,
terflies He stopped near Rosal1e ana
gave her a message written on the
petal of a flower. Just as she started
to read she awoke. 1t had only been
a dream.
Rosalie wondered very much next
day what the message was that she
received in her dream.
