1.-The Wave Fairies" said Daddy,
"are the little Fairies who ride on the
tops of the Waves. They love Swim

ter Sports. In fact, they always go
to the Parties given by the Fishes
and the Mermaids are their Cousins.

Water. When it is windy on a Lake
or a River they are always bouncing
about in the White Cap Boats that
are right on top of the Water on a

ride on the great, huge waves that

People over when they are in Swim
ming. They think that is the very
best joke in the world and of course
the People like it too.
Yesterday by the Ocean it was very
rough-and the Breakers were high.
The Fairies were all in their White
Boats on top of the Waves and in
they went to the Shore rolling and
Roaring with delight.
you know the Roar you hear down
by the Ocean-well that is the Queen
of the Wave Fairies telling the Waves
OF course the Waves thank the
Fairies, and then they have to tell the
Stones and Sand on the Beach just
what the Fairies think of them.
And so that is why you hear such
Roar all the time"
"But Daddy" said Nancy. "They
Roar in such a funny, deep way"
"Ah, there is a secret about that,

In the larger towns as NSalonii and KilkuSh, the
refugees ranged in tent cities, ten thousand or
more in encampment. There were perhaps
10000 Greek refugees little more than a year
ago along the road from Drama to Saloniki.
When l was at Saonid the Turks were leaving
in great numbers: 212OOO took steerage passage
for StambOul in one month. Saoniki (Thessa-

Olympus and with noble harbor should be one
of the great cities of the world. In the aftermath
of the second Balkan war it lost half its popula-

ministers Pashitch in Belgrade and Venizeos in
Athens were both opposed to the policy of repres-
sion. Both would, if they could, have proclaimed
religious linguistic tolerance in those parts of Mac
edonia turned over to them by the treaty Of
Bucharest. But the fact of victory and especially
victory over their sister state Bulgaria intoxicates
the military, and fills the mob with the least
wind" In such times the civil authority cannot
hold it's against the military.
Bulgaria recognized better the value of toler-
ance. Greek church and School stand undis
turbed in Sofia. In the Bulgarian national assem-
bly, there are about a dozen Turkish deputies rep
resenting Thrace. These Turks, supporters all of
the king, hold the balance of power against the

Roumania as the robber-state who has done them

Passing down the long highway which leads over
200 miles from Sofia to Samokov and Dubnitza in
old Bulgaria. then across the border of Macedonia,
down the Struma river past Dzumaia to Petritch,
we found everywhere the Bulgarian refugees from

Some of these have been given farms or houses
abandoned in Macedonia by Turks who followed
the Turkish army away. Others received farms
left by Greeks when the Greek army went back
after the treaty of Bucharest. The government
grants each person some fOurpence a day. Some
find work, but after the there are few employ

The reason for that is clearer now. Europe was

the corner inspecting the fire station.
He came home to tell his mother of
what he had seen there. He said:
"And, mamma, even if they are just
in the middle of sweeping the floor,
they drop the broom and rush off to
the fire, and even in the night time
when they are in bed, if the bell rings,
they jump up and dress and go to
the fire-'cause if they didn't do that,
when they got there the FIRE would
