Fairies were eS-
corted to their Benches on the Lawns
The Benches were made of Pine Nee
dies and the Fairies Thought the Grass
hoppers were very hard Workers to
have carried the Pine Needles from
the Woods to the Lawns just for
them.
First Of all came the Circus Pa
rade-for even the Grasshoppers knew
that they must give Parade the first
thing. There was the Grasshoppers'
band. It was especially funny. About
fifty Grasshoppers played on Blades of
Grass-the Music sounded like Whis-
Ting, but 1t was quite a new kind Of
Music and the Fairies enjoyed it. Be-
sides, a number Of other Grasshoppers
sang funny Songs while the Parade
was going on.
There were the Grasshopper
Clowns. How funny they did look!
They went around doing all sorts Of
regular Clown Tricks--just as II they'd
always been Clowns in big Circuses-
but 1t seems they had been around and
watched number of Circus Clowns.
"And little Grasshoppers rode on
the backs of some of the big ones, and
there were Grasshoppers dressed as
Policemen. On their hats in large
green letters were written the words:
We keep order The Fairies thought
that was very funny. And the Grass
hopper Policemen certainly were queer
looking objects!
After the Parade was over the
Band settled itself in a corner while
in a large Ring in the middle the
Grasshoppers came out and did their
Tricks.
They turned Somersaults-they had

the Rope Walker does in the Circus.
And he carried Parasol made of a
beautiful Apple Leaf. The Fairies
clapped and clapped when they saw
his Trick and he had to come out
again and again to bow.
But, as you may easily guess, the
most wonderful OF all was the Jump

For when you see them, of course,

best. The Day of the Circus, though,
