In gilt cabinet painted with gay
flowers there once lived a very daint
little Dresden china dancing girl.
There were many other occupants
of this beautiful cabinet. A beaut-
full lady of Dresden china also sat In n
wonderful Dresden COACH drawn by
four Dresden horses harnessed in gold.
There lived in this cabinet, too, a
handsome little Dresden china boy,
dressed in figured coat, with dainty
lace hanging from each sleeve. There
was lace about his neck, which fell
over vest of white and gold.
His shoes were white and gold and
the buckles were very large gold ones,
but the thing about this youth that
made all the dwellers in the cabinet
look upon him as being the most dis
tinguished of all was that ho played

at her when at night, when all was
still, he played sweet tune.
And the little Dresden dancing girl
gave no thought TO the lady IN the
coach for she was sure he played for
no one but her. for did she not dance
when he played. and what was music
for out TO dance by?
One day the door of the cabinet
was opened and a beautiful lace ana
IVORY fan was placed inside.
This fan was not all of lace for there
was "a circle OF silk in the very center

lady IN a wonderful gown Of blue and

Her hair was piled high upon her
little head in wonderful style and over
one shoulder fell bcwitching curl.
Her eyes were blue and her little
rosebud mouth hooked ready to be

One little foot in a blue slipper peeped
from beneath her full skirt. which she
