of her fairy wand, eight of the dearest,
childish little figures danced on the
ST. Dressed

were as happy and fairy-like as If they
had come from dreamland. The queen,
from her fairy-like basket, first scat

fairy subjects picking them up. foated
off to do her bidding. In came eight

summer. a party of lovely maidens
dressed in pink. with roses twined in
their flowing hair and carrying hoops
