the edge of the circle of light The
fairies were just sitting down to their
food and never dreamed of an enemy
watching from under the bushes at
the side.
The Queen of the fairies sat at the
head of the banquet and began the
feast by holding aloft a tiny golden
goblet of wine. At this sight the mis-
chievous Brownie decided to break up
the party. SO arching his back for a
mighty spring, he leaped into the air
and came bouncing down in the midst
of the crowd. -
In moment there was the widest
confusion, and every fairy ran, but
only for a moment. For the Queen
remembered her power in an instant.
In a seconds time there was no
young tiger there at all-only stand
ing solitary in the center of the green
circle was a tall plant whose bloom
was a red lily, with brown stripes.
Around in the moonlight danced and
sang the fairies, and the lily swayed
back ond forth as if in pain. Down
in the Jungle it could hear the mother
tiger prOwlng around looking for the
lost cub, and the sound only made it
rock more violently.
By dawn the fairies had gone, but
there still stood the lily, swaying on
its stem, longing to be a tiger cub
again and hating to know that for mil
lions and millions of years, till the
fairies grew old-which took millions
and millions of years-it must be a
flower and known to all the world as
tiger lily.

quickly. "Why?"
''I'll tell you why" Laura explained.

you see how you have changed in the

What do you mean?" stammered
the plaintive little wife, intense sur

husband asks you to go out with him
in the evening, what do you say? You
refuse, of course. And so he goes off
alone. l don't suppose he asks you
any more now, for you have refused
so often.'
But l haven't got the time to go

plaintive little wife quickly. 1.-THE

NONSENSE" was the brisk answer
of the candid friend. ut is really Of
more Importance that you please your
husband and keep him interested in

and worry yourself needlessly over all
sorts of imaginary and quite absurd
happenings that never will take place!

The little rift within 9.he matrimo-
NAL lutte is an affair thar must be at
tended to pretty quickly, otherwise it
will widen so much thai the whole
will be marred And one of the most
common riffs of all is thse failure on
the part of the wife to p rove real
companion to her husband.
When a man marries a woman, he
looks for something more than a good
cook and a member of his clothes and
a general factotum around the house.
He may and probably does want all of
these things, but in addition he most
assuredly desires companionship. And
that is precisely where so many wom-

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks

1t was moonlight in the woods. IN
der the tall trees was the deep, black
shadow of midnight, but out in the
open the glow was a golden mist that
turned everything to sheeny yellow.
The firef1ies twinkled about in the
gloom of the damp fern boys. And on
the warm, sweet night air there was
the strange silvery singing as if a
thousand tiny birds were trilling I'M
der the leaves. For it was the night
of the flower fairies ball, which is
given every year on the full of the
August moon.
The circle of green in the center of
the grove was smooth and covered
with soft grass whose tufts were tiny
boards of grain so closely woven to-
gether as to form a carpet. To this
spot there were coming crowds OF fair
les bv the hundreds. Some were rid
ing on flower stems, others on dragon
flies. but most of them floating gently
by on gauzy wings of all colorS that
flashed like rainbows in the moonlight.
The great ball was about to begin and
the fairies were assembling.
Down near the foot of this grove in
the jungle was the home of big

could hear the soft music trembling on
the breeze, and as they listened they
lifted their tawny skins.
What is that, mother?" asked the
Youngest fellow, whose name was
Brownie. Il never heard this noise
before"
"Of course you have not" purred
the mother tiger, as she rubbed Spots

you know that if any living animals
ever peeped at the fairies when dane
ing they would be turned at once to
flowers themselves. Don't go near the
spot-it would be very dangerous and
should never see you again.
The little cub called Brownie lis
tened very carefully. He had always
wanted to see a fairy and thought it
would be fun to chase them about just
as many children do the lightning
bugs in summer. But he did not say
word to his mother about it. The FAM

presently all except the youngest were
stretched out on their bed of leaves
and snoring loudly.

Others, then he tramped softly toward
the circle where the fairies were dane
inc in the moonlight. The flashing
lights and the music delighted him.
Then he could smell the daintlcs

most delicious kind.
So he lay close to the ground, and

stomach till his black nose was just at
