excluded.
The same general directions apply to
each process.
Needed Articles.-Granite or porce
lain lined kettles or stewpans, with
bales or handles and lips for conven

better still, silver plated fruit knife
ground down to a fine edge, expressly
for fruit pairing. Other necessary ar.
ticles - wooden spoons some with
Sits, q wire spoon, silver spoons, large

The Fate of a Fairy Queen. "
(By a Little Girl.)

Once upon time there lived in
dark, gloomy forest an ugly little old
woman. She was bad, cruel witch,
and anyone who ever entered her cave
seldom came out again. Not very far
from her was the Fairy Queens castle,
and all the little fairies were very
much afraid of the old witch.
One night the Queen was going to
have ball. She sent her page, Puck,
to invite the little water sprites. Off
he flew The little Fairy Queen was
dressed in a robe of blue velvet, en-
brcidered with pearls and diamonds
Her cap was of the daintiest cobwebs
to be had in all her kingdom. II was
trimmed with strings of pearls. She
had blue satin slippers with beautiful
little butterfly wings, and on her
shoulder she had larger wings. Her
curls were golden and very beautiful.
The water sprite came, and just as
they were in the height of the dance
out of the bushes hobbled the little
ugly old witch. One of the queens
(god-mothers) touched the Queen with
her wand, and turned her into beau
tifui little blue-bird All the fairies
watched their Queen fly away in the
form of a blue-bird, and when they
turned around the ugly old witch had
vanished.
