EVENING
EEAIR TALE s.
BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER
BROWNIES ROLLER SKATING.

The fairies believe" commenced
daddy, that they should play all the
games there are and have all the fun
they can. Strangely enough they had
never had a roller skating party until
the other day when they gave huge
one-one OF the biggest parties ever
given, | fancy.
The ones who did all the planning
and had all the schemes about the
party were the brownies. OF all the
things they like to do, roller skating
is almost at the head of the list, and
that is why they wanted the fairies
to enjoy it, too. You may be surprised
to hear that brownies like roller skat-
ing, for you would think that they
would fall down every moment-they
perfectly true. They fall down al
most as often as they take single
rOller-skating stroke, and often and
often they no sooner stand up than
they fall down!
But they think that is lots of fun,
and as it made the fairies laugh at
the party and gave them such a good
time watching them, they didn't mind
1t the very least little bit
We'll, at this party the brownies
had arrived first at the Fairies Moss
grove, and had made it look much like
big occasion by having tables spread
around the edge of the grove filled
with little dishes of brownies broth,
brownies bread and brownies bis
cults, all ready for luncheon. And in
the very center Of the grove was big
throne. Around the throne were count
less little bright yellow bushes-all
in their spring garb of lovely bios
SONS. The big throne bore over the
top Of 1t in large letters, For the
Fairy Queen and the little fairies al.
ways rested under the yellow bushes.
Somehow the fairies thought the
brownies wanted them to rest almost
before they had tried to skate-which
was very true, for the brownies were
proud Of their decorations
"'Well,' the brownies said, we will
now begin the celebration! We will

show you fancy skating such as you
have never seen in all your lives
And the fairies believed it, for they
knew that the fancy skating of the
brownies would be quite different
from any other so-called fancy skat-
ing!
ITO their surprise the brownies had
practiced what to do each time they
fell down. They would either turn a
somersault or do handspring or
slide along the soft moss in a very
funny way, with their arms and legs
flying above, it seemed! How the
fairies did laugh, for they never
knew what the brownies were going
to do next. They were certainly the
funniest little roller skaters, and the
fairies thought they should Just be
called rollers because they rolled
more than they skated!
AT the very end Of the day, though,
when once more the brownies were
doing some of their tricks, the leader
said:
Now for our ballet dance
And all the little brownies did a
ballet dance which they named the
Tumble-the best name they could
have given it, for they tumbled far
more than they danced"

Samuel, speaking severely, upon the
