is very busy, for in the depths of the woods he must dress and decorate his many cows. in honor of the festival
 In Finland cows are milked three times a day, so at twelve o'clock the children see approaching herd oi cows adorned in a strange fashion. Between their horns hangs Q strip oi birchbark like shield, painted in rec and green and yellow; while from their horns depend queer ornaments One is made from the wood of tho juniper tree, a short stick from whic] twigs are curved back at the ends into four spikes, like a double" claw hammer This all the year round vii he used in the homes as potato masher. Another COW bears @ twisted "whisk' made of willow flores ant this is the new family eggbeater.
 After the cows have been duly ad mired-and som etimes great artistic ability is lavished on the beasts by the rustic conference.-the assembled children and older people are invited into a kiosk or house made of birch trees, built for this great occasion Thus in drinking of coffee and in eat ing of cakes and sweet bread pleas ant hour passes and then the process sion of children starts for home, gaily dancing as they decorate themselves with the birchbark streamers which had previously bedecked the cows.

1de Saucy Soap-Bubble Sprites

or even an aeroplane-but as for me, give me soap bubble every timei"
 Pop! Pop! Pop-pop! All around him the soap-bubbles were bursting and their riders vanishing, only to re- appear presently astride other bub- bles that came forth from the end of the pipe in most miraculous fashion.
 Studs grinned. "Um-h -huh!" he laughed. q guess you are wondering what happens when bubble bursts and you can't see why we don't fall and break our necks, can you? Well, my dear, we don't because we know how to ride a bubble Now if you tried it, I'm afraid-oh, well, when a bubble bursts the Sprite astride it just flaps his wings and flies, so quickly that you cannot see him, back to the pipe. And there he blows and blows and blows until another bubble comes out of the bowl-and then he hops astride it and goes sailing away"
 "But-Ive never, never seen you before and"
 haven't, my dear. Very few people ever See us-and never unless they believe in fairies. Sometimes too, we crawl inside the soap-bubbles as they float along; but that's not near as much fun as balancing yourself on top of them. Really, my dear, it's an art, it's an art!'
 Maybelle took deep breath before she spoke, because she was still just a wee bit frightened. "Where- where do you go when there aren't any bubbles?" she presently made bold to ask "Oh," Studs replied, i've just stick around. And often the easiest place to stick is to the soap that's stuck in- side the bowl of the pipe! Have you ever noticed, my dear, that after you've been blowing bubbles there's always little soap left inside the rim of the bowl? Well--gracious goodness - that careless Bubbles has upset the tin-basin and I must must"
 Suddenly Maybelle felt herself shaken. And then she heard old Aunt Dina's voice: 'Lan's sakes, chilei les look ahead at what yo' all done done! A-upset de basin an a-spilled de studs all ovah de f1oah. An declare, hit am a wondah yo' didn't spill hit all ovah yo'sef! Rum erlong, chile, hits high time ter git dress fo' yo' dinnah. Jes' look at dis heah po'ch---jes a-look at hit If yo' had ter 30 ter sleep, how cum yo' didn't go to bald 'stid ob fiop- pin ovah heah on de po'ch? Did you hab a nice nap, honey, did yo' hab nice nap?"

had detached itself from the pipe, a queer little creature like Bubble and Studs appeared out of nowhere and balanced himself astride the bubble.
 Hey, Studs! Hey, Studs, look at" chirped one of the little fellows; but, alas, before he could complete his sentence came Pop!--and Studs and the bubble upon which he had been riding vanished. MaybelIe looked and looked and looked; but she could not see what had become of him.
 All of 8 sudden she heard a very little voice (which she knew instantly as belonging to Suds) right behind her.
 Here ann" it cried. And l guess this one isn't some soap bubble, huh ?' The other little fellows seated on bub- bles all looked at Studs enviously.
 His bubble darted suddenly and brushed against Maybelle's curly head. Of course, it burst immediately. May belle put up her hand quickly in the hope of saving Studs from a nasty fall or, at least. of being able to touch him

Midsummer Day in Olden Times

~ HOUGH it is easy to understand A why the new fire" is lighted at
 Easter time in Roman Catholic
 churches it is harder to see why The Fires of st. John" on Midsum- mer Eve, should signify all that is new and fresh in life-the turning of a new page.
 Yet primitive people look upon this festival with great joy; they cleanse their houses, put on new clothes, make up quarrels. pay debts and be- come reconciled to their enemies while the fires of St Johns are burn ing.
 Because the sun loses it's force daily 'after midsummer the ancients (and so with peasant folk to this day) thought that the energies of fire must neces- sarily decline; so they renewed the fires in the temples and on the hearths of their homes on the longest day of the summer or when the az ricultural year was beginning
 In Finland the festival of "Juhana Paiva" makes for the children very happy memory. They build two fires on the evening before, one of fir trees, in form like a wig-wam, with wood in between, which they call ''Kocko," and the other made of horizontal fir branches 'Yancha pisa," or "old maid" over which they jump when
