thought surely she was going to be
eaten alive, and she screamed with
all her might but the little girl
didn't hear her at all.
AS the little girl raised the candy
to take the first bite the fairy gave
up all hopes, but at the first mouth
full the little girl cried out, why
mother, this tastes like mustard"
And she was SO disappointed that
she threw the whole piece away,
and so Fairy-sticky-toe escaped at
once.
Since all this happened right in
front of the hot hamburger booth,
Fairy-sticky-toe joyfully found that
Marjrie-grumble-voice even then
was peering down from the high
counter. looking for her as she
emerged from the piece OF ice
cream candy, so the two fairies
fastened towards the horse races
which were just beginning.
At first they tried to get seats in
the grandstand, but they could not
find any good ones, so Fairy-sticky-
toe suggested they go out where
the horses really were. A great

many earth people were out there
so it was all right
AS the two fairies went from
horse to horse, admiring one after
the other, they grew more and
interested, until finally Marjrie-
grumble-voice said excitedly, "Ill
say this horse is going to win"
(She forgot she had such cold
she couldn't talk much.)
mo think this one will" said
Fairy -sticky-toe.
Just then bell changed and the
horses were driven out onto the
race track.

tail. g."
$50 am l." answered Marjie-
grumble-voice, doing the same
thing. And away went those two
fairies on the horses tails.
At first the racers simply prac-
ticed for a little while, but finally
the gong sounded again and this
time they all started in earnest.
The first time around all the
horses were rather close together.
but the second time these two
horses were clearly in the lead,
and as they started on the third
round the two fairies were so ex-
cited they didn't know what to do.
Neck and neck went the two
horses, while to the fairies, the
ground seemed a whirling yellow
streak beneath them. On and on
came the horses, still with their
heads perfectly even. When they
came to the home stretch every
person in the grandstand had risen.
Some were pounding the railing
and others were pounding the
mans head just in front of them,
while the roar of the shouting was
like thunder.
ooh go faster" cried Fairy-sticky-
toe.
Faster, faster, faster" shouted
Mariie-grumble-voice, and when her
steed heard that fairy voice rum
bling deep down, he gave such a
mighty leap forward that he clear
ed the line just ahead of the other,
and the race was won.
But just as the horses came to a
stop and the men ran out to throw
the blankets over them, "Whoo-ou-
oo-ou," came the whistle of the six
o'clock train, and away those two
fairies had to fly because you
know the Sandman always locks
the gates behind him, when he
comes out Of fairyland just at sun
set.

How Fairy -Sticky-Toe and
Marjorie Grumble- Voice
Went to the Fair.

Little sister Marie was sick and
couldn't go the fair. The trouble
was that little Miss Marjorie Cray
had decided to wash out all her
doll clothes and all the clothes Of
her best big Teddy Bear. and after
all that, she even had tried to give
Bruin himself a good scrubbing,
and the result was that the poor
little washwoman was dripping wet
from her curls down to the toe Of
her little black slipper; and then
the first thing she knew her face
puckered UP and "At-tchuew' came
a sneeze, which was the beginning
of long nasty cold.
And so poor Marie and Grand
mother Gray were staying at home
while all the others were having a
good time at the fair. and it was SO
lonesome for them that finally Mar
jie said, Grandmother. cant you
think of something new to do?"
well, Marble. let me think" she
said, wrinkling up her forehead as
though it were the greatest effort.
How would you like to pretend
we were two little fairies that could
60 flying out the window and over
to the fair, to see everything for
ourselves"
"All right" agreed Marie. "but
Grandmother, probably you better
do thea talking because | wouldn't
make very good fairy with such
q rumbling voice."
So this is the pretending story

time, but all the fairies were so
anxious to hear about their expert
ences at the fair that they all staid
UP for two hours past their bed
time, and even the Sandman forgot
to make his rounds; and think
perhaps that is why certain little
girl named Marie Gray has her
eyes wide open now, don't you?
"Oh / don't know" said Marie,
suddenly realizing that the story
was all over. Probably l had so
much fun pretending we went to
the fair, that now, just want to
think about it and that's why I'm
not sleepy, don't you see?"
And Grandmother Gray just
laughed.

Dear Aunt Molly: Where does
Happy Hoolegan get all those tin
'cans to put on his head?-Gladys
Brown.
Dear Gladys: Perhaps poor Hap
by is like many other people now
days who have to eat so much can
ned food, which gets so full OF the
little shavings of tin off of the lid
when it is being opened, that after
awhile half of their insides grow to
be tin,-only with Happy Hoolegan
these little shaving all collect In
his head and sprout out Of the top,
in tin cans, so that as soon as one
is mashed or knocked off, another
one grows out again in its place.

Dear Aunt Molly: Where do
they get so much wood to make all
the houses and things Josephine
Mary Bussen.
Dear Josephine: That is getting
to be more and more question all
the time. We still have some
woods in parts of Indiana, and
there are great tracts of forest land
in other parts Of the United States
and Canada which furnish us with
lumber; but since more and more
land is being cleared away for
farms, and even in the forests
themselves the threes are being cut
down faster than they grow, the
problem of getting wood is grow
ing so great that even now other
materials are often being used in
stead.-Ed.
Dear Aunt Molly: What makes
all the leaves fall?-Mildred Mar
guerite Brumley.
Dear Mildred: The reason leaves
fall, is because after their work is
done all the veins and cells dry up.
SO that the sap from the tree itself
does not circulate through them
any more, and after the connection
with the tree proper is broken off
the least wind can blow the USE
less leaf from its hold, and it falls.

Dear Aunt Molly: Who invented
the word "News?"-Gladys Mer-
vine.
Dear Gladys: There is report
that someone invented that word
from N. E. w. S. being the letters
on the compass, and showing that
1t is from the North, East, West
and South that our interesting stor-
les come, which we call news. The
man who first published a paper
using that name was Nathaniel
Butler, who issued The Weekly
News" in 1922, but the word must
have been In use before then.-Ed.
Say Aunt Molly don't you think
a good way to get sum munney for

boys an girls at scoole to save Their
teethe that hav got lose an cum out
and then sell um.-Jimmie G.
My dear Jimmie: certainly
think that would be a fine idea.
you had collected a hun
dred or two, you could string them
and make beautiful necklace Of
freshly pulled pearly teeth, which
no doubt you could sell to the king
Of the Fiji Islands or some noted
Zulu chief for good little sum Of
money, and | am very sure the Red
Cross would be delighted with the
onation.-Aunt M.
