be two bands playing. When one got

everyone could enjoy the party.

ers feel that every day was nice and
that something could be done on every
day. So Peter Gnome thought he
should give them all a ball, so as to
let them all know how pleased he was.
He sent around his Invitations by
the Breeze Brothers, and asked every
one to come the following evening as
the sun went down. He explained to
Mfr. Sun that he was giving a moon
light ball this time. so Mr.. Sun wasn't
in the least bit hurt.
Anyway, Mr.. Sun was tired and
sleepy and said that he knew his eyes
couldn't possibly keep open for an eve

to and he was too old chap to be
taught anything new.

said he might be few minutes late.
but he'd surely come.
THE ball began the following eve

bed. The Breeze Brothers had taken
around all the invitations so they were
all at the ball-the fairies, gnomes.

the guests came trudging up the long
wooded walk which was an uphill
walk, very beautiful one They
passed Il hs and little wild flowers as
they walked along and they picked
them up and brought them as gifts to
Peter Gnome.

Fairy Princess Twilight Bell, for Pc

little ahead Of the others.
"As soon as she had arrived and had
made Peter Gnome a beautiful bow,
and he had made her one he told her
to call to the guests to hurry.
This he had planned to ask her to
do, so that all through the woods could
be heard the beautiful voice of Fairy
Princess Twilight-Bell, calling all the
fairies to the ball

her lovely little head and opened her
