Lets have an afternoon ball for q

"Fine," agreed Ybab.
And the fairy queen waved her
magic wand, and said: "The ball will
be this afternoon, so hurry and make

The fairies ran and flew this way
and that, and old Mr.. Giant came
along, having heard the sound OF
many voices, and asked if there was
anything he could do.
"To be sure" the fairy queen said,
"you blow ON your great and power
full trumpet the call of the fairies, and
for those you cannot reach by the call
of the trumpet, ask the robins If
they'll take messages for us.
ave want all our usual friends, the

1t was afternoon, and the fairies
were all ready for their guests. Mr..
Sun was peeping through the tall trees
and telling secrets to the trees and
the ferns and the messy ground which
made them sparkle and laugh.
The shadows had come, too, and they
were already dancing with Mr.. Suns
children, the rays.
The fairy queen was dressed like
big red sun and the little fairies look
ed like tiny golden suns. They were
the most dazzling and sparkling cos
tunes that ever were seen In Fairy
land.
Soon all the guests arrived. The
gnomes wore beautiful moss green
suits, with tall hats Of moss, the
brownies wore orange velvet suits
with hats of bright orange velvet
very tall with a tassel at the top Of
each hat. The elves wore dresses
made of wood violets and the leaves
of wood violets. The Bogey family
wore dresses made of wild roses, and
old Witty Witch wore a new frock of
buttercups.
OF course the fairy queen was de-
lighted with all the costumes as well

SUITS" Mr.. Woodpecker said, "as we
were practicing all the morning to play
the drums on the trees around"
"We didn't change our suits, as we
were practicing our songs" said the
orioles, who were SO brilliantly dressed
anyway that they really need not
have said anything.
Then, too," added the robin, "we
couldn't have changed our suits If we
wanted to-"
And all the other birds burst into
songs, singing:
The dear little robins so truthful and dear.
We're so very glad that you have come
here.
You add with your voices. you add with
your charm,
And we'll take good care that you ne'er
come to harm.
The robins were much pleased with
the song, but they didn't want to have
all the attention, SO they sang this
song:
When Fairy Queen gives a ball.
It's for all, yes for all.
Every one has the chance
To sing and to dance.
So a cheer went up for the fairy
queen and then the music began, and
everyone danced all that wonderful
summer afternoon in the sunlight and
among the afternoon shadows.

"This, then, is our conception of the

gagged. The plot is written plain upon
preme tragedy. On the one hand stand
the peoples of the world-not only the
peoples actually engaged, but many
others also who suffer under mastery
but cannot act; peoples of many races
and in every part of the world-the
people of stricken Russia still, among
the rest. though they are for the mo-
ment unorganiZed and helpless. OPP
posed to them, masters of many arm
les, stand an isolated, friendleSS group
of governments who speak no common
purpose but only selfish ambitions of
their own by which none can profit
but themselves. and whose peoples
are fuel in their hands; governments
which fear their people and yet are
for the time their sovereign lords, max
ing every choice for them and dispos-
ing of their lives and fortunes as they
will, as well as of the lives and for
tunes of every people who fall under
their power - governments clothed
with the strange trappings and the
primitive authority of an age that is
altogether alien and hostile to our
own. The past and the present are In
deadly grapple and the peoples of the
world are being done to death between
them.

"queer" person would not be as safe a
risk as the "ordinary" man, so they
fixed his premium at ten per cent more
than that Of the persons who drank!
The directors in their decision used
these words: "The applicant is of
thin and watery disposition and men,
tally cracked, in that he repudiates the
good creations of God as found in
alcoholic drinks" ....-
Such views are still held in some
quarters, but not in the offices of the
insurance companies. In fact, the in
surance companies now reject the ap-
plications of those who drink to any
great extent, and they do not warm up
much to the moderate drinker, whose
chances in case of pneumonia or Of
a surgical operation are not considered
as bright as those Of the person who
was put down as "queer" in 1843.
It is queer world, but it does turn
