Our Fairy eodmothers.

The world. out OF fairy books. lie
chary in furnishing it's fairy god
mothers, yet most of us have friends
at whose touch we become more truly
and happily ourselves than at other
times. They seem able to endow us,
through same magic OF their own
with the beRuteous yestments and the
glass slippers that free the spirit
These are our fairy godmothers We
do well to love them and pay them
good heed, for through them we may
enter into such possession OF the pre-
cious gifts that we need have no dread
OF the striking hour. This, we must
suppose, is what Cophetua did for his
heggar'maid. At his glance the queen
in her blossomed. which later all the
world could see.
