1--WE forgotten just which ones they
were," said Nick.
swell, first to answer Nancy's ques-
tion-yes, the Surprise Party was Civ
en- by the Dawn Fairies, and second.
for Nick's question. the Dawn Fairies
are those who are playing and frisk-
Ing about just at Dawn and when
Mr.. Sun shines hard disappear from
view-for they never want to be seen.
"The Dawn Fairies were full of
their schemes and plans for many q
day before they could actually decide
just which day to choose for the Party.
Finally they had arranged everything
and they sent their invitations q day
ahead to all the Elves In Elfland.
'sThe invitations were carried by six
beautiful Fairies In soft rose-cOlored
dresses. They looked Just like the
lights of pink and rose that are seen
in the sky very early some mornings.
These Fairies put the invitations in
Peonies and in Roses and In the dark
blue Iris Flowers that the Elves have
always admired so much.
''The Elves were so pleased to each
receive a Flower with an invitation
hidden in its petals and at once they
began to get their bright green Party
suits ready for the great occasion.
''They all arrived Just at Dawn, but
they couldn't see a sign of Fairy.
What could 1t mean, they asked each
other. Surely they had not mistaken
the day? That would have been a
dreadful thing to have done? But no,
they were sure they had looked at
their invitations SO many times they
could never have made a mistake in
the day.
"And so they chatted among them
selves. At last one little Elf said:
.'Why nren't we all silly2 This
is to be Surprise Party. Maybe
| the Surprise will be that the Fairies
are somewhere around and we have
to find them. Let's look. Anyway,
Tn sure we haven't made mistake
in the day
'The Elves began scampering about
looking for the Fairies. and still they
couldn't find them, though as they
remembered now that 1t was to be a
Surprise Party they were not worried
about having made mistake In the
day.
AT last, coming slowly through the
woods, the Elves saw one hundred big
Spiders marching along. Then the
Elves stood back to watch what would
happen. And after the one hundred
Spiders had passed along little dis
lance, what should the Elves see be
hind them but a long twisted wei

were the rest of the little Dawn
Fairies. looking very exquisite in their
soft, dainty costumes. On their heads
they had crowns Of Silver and Roses,
and their wands Of Silver, with clus-
tiers of Roses. When they shook their
wands, Rose petals fell to the earth,
and little buds sprang open into big
Rose blossoms each time.
"t0h. Fairies shouted the Elves.
we are so glad you've come. We got
here much too soon. so eager were
we to come. and then we were afraid

'-The Fairies laughed, and their
laughs sounded like the tinkling OF

In the least possible little second, COR
