lanterns shaped like The lotus buds IN

ways. In his hands he held brilliant
otus bud and a lotus-bud lantern.
Then from every gateway, all up and

CT The air was filed with the mu-
sic of their happy voices, and there
was the sound Of their little feet going
pitapat in the dust.
Soon the streets were childhood's,

For brief, Joyous hour, Ike fairy

candles burned low IN the lanterns, and
one by one went out. As quickly az
they came, the children vanished The
