The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-06-21

And all the Elves went scampering
and flying of to gather the material
for the Balloons.
They painted them with their
magic paint brushes and made them
look very fresh and gay. Soon they
were all ready, and Woodbine went UP
in the air in his green Balloon first to
see what 1t was like to fly in such a
way.
In every one, you know, they had a
little swing, and ready to use at a mo-
ments notice was parasol They
thought the parasols would do splen-
didly II Mr.. Sun looked at them too
hard-for, of course, it was natural he
would be most interested in such q
flying party.
And they also thought they would
do just as well in case the King of
the Clouds became curious and
brought out all the rain drops to look
at them.
They all began to fly soon and how
they did enjoy it. Over the hills and
valleys they went, and when they
came to nice messy ground near
streams or by cool springs they
would stop and have delicious drinks
of water in the cups they had brought
along with them, made of birch bark.
After they had been flying for
hours and hours and hours, they all
became very sleepy, SO they curled up
In their little swings and went sound,
sound asleep. The night clouds and
the night wind carried them along
still farther on their trip, and by sun
rise they were ready to steer their own
Balloons.
For breakfast they visited the old
Dragon, who lived in a cave with a
sort OF purple moss for hangings over
his doors and windows. And soon
after they began to make their journey
homeward, but very, very slowly. for
they stopped and saw their friends on
the way and were admired for their
beautiful Balloons. And Woodbine
was a proud Elf because he had sug-
gested the whole trip"

EVENING
TALEH
ELVES TRIP IN BALLOONS.
b. MARY GRAHAM BONNER


Daddy was so anxious to tell tn
J Children a special story he had tina
he began 1t before he had taken tn
trouble to sit down.
The Balloons were of every colo
you can think Others were yellow
ones, green ones. orange ones, anC
ones Of pink. purple, red, scarlet, pal,
blue and dark blue, brown, lavender
and silver. But OF course know yor
are wondering why ! am telling YOU
Of the various coiors of the Balloons
and nothing about the Balloons them
selves.
You see II was this way! The Elves
had been thinking of taking trip and
they wanted to take quite new kind.
So little Elf named Woodbine sug-
gested that all go of for an air trip.
But they couldn't think of any way
Oh going, as their airships had not ar
rived and they were in too much of a
hurry to be OF to wait for the Air
ships.
And again little Woodbine said:
why not go in Balloons? In the
circuses that little Boys and Girls go
to / have heard-and also have seen
over the villages-great Balloons with
a person in each Balloon waving about
on sort of wooden swing-and over
their heads they had gay parasols OF
many colors.'
That's a fine scheme!' they all
shouted. Let's have Balloons. How
will we get them?'
1--WE can make them ourselves
said Woodbine. I'm sure in the cir
cuses the Balloons are made and don't
just come walking in of their own free
will and accord. We will each make
a Balloon-and every Elf will have one
all for himself-but be sure you all
make fine parasol to match your Bal
loon. The Balloons have seen have
been dull and most embarrassing and
not like the parasols. But we'll make
bright colored ones-every Elf will
make a Balloon of his favorite color

PROGRESS OF TOY BUSINESS
Industry Moving Slowly In Japan on
Account Of Increased Cost Of Va
rious Kinds of Materials.

Toy making is progressing slowly
In Japan. despite the strong demand.
This is due to the great rise in the
cost of raw materials. The materials
mostly used are various kinds of col
ored paper, tinfoil, cotton and silk
cloths, dyes, cardboard. metals and
celluloid. Prices tof these products
have risen in some cases 40 per cent,
with prospects of going higher in the
future
