il will be colder than any of you ever
knew il to be. You see, IL viii have to
be 10 make the festival beautiful
The FAIRIES went TO their friends,
the Rabbits and borrowed all the white
fur coats, because, as they told them,
they would not need them at night and
they would return them before light.
The Gnomes borrowed the Molcs
coats I'VE viii bring them back long be
fore YOU will need them" they told the
Moles.
The Elves wore all the year a brown
suit of leather, so they were sure they
were dressed warm enough for the ice
festival no matter how cold Jack Frost
had to make the weather.
All this time Jack Frost was 3 very
busy fellow, for he intended To spare
himself no trouble TO make UP for dis
appointing the little Cohlins in the
Fall.
Jack froze the rivers. the lakes and
the ponds. He asked the rain clouds
to ~end down the rain drops over the
trees and rocks and then he called upon
Mr.. Moon Man and asked him To send
down his brightest beams on the night OF
the festival.
Jack frosted all the dry, brown leaves
so they could be used for little boats TO
glide ove. the frozen water and then just
before il was midnight he flew up TO the
North where his mother, Northuind
lived and asked her to send down over
all the frozen trees and bushes just bit
of snow. so everything would look soft
and fleecv
And such q beautiful festival ae il
WAS, for when the last stroke OF the magic
hour of II struck the country for miles
and miles around looked like great
frosted cake IN the moonlight.
The Goblins. in then coats which the
squirrels loaned them, stood all around
the edge of the woods TO welcome their
guests under the icicles which hung from
the trees, making the woods look like q
huge ice cave glistening IN the moonlight
When everyone had arrived the lit
tie magic people jumped into the frosty
boats and glided away in the moonlight.
All night they frolicked and every
one said that the ice festival was the
most beautiful ever held, and so the Cob
lins forgave Jack Frost for oversleeping
and spelling their Color Festival in the
Fall.
There WAS just one thing that went
wrong, and that WAS that some OF the
Fairies sailed so far away that they did
not get back with the white fur coats,
and when it was time for the rabbits to
get up some of them had TO run out with
their old brown coats on.
| expect when a rabbit is seen in the
winter to run over the snow, wearing
his old coat IL is because some little
FAIRY had borrowed his white one and
forgotten to return it In time for him
to 20 to breakfast.

Women in Non-Partisan League.

The Voters Non-Partisan League of
Delaware has just made a change in its
bylaws which will alter the nature of
its organization. Heretofore the member
ship of the league was confined entirely
TO men, but since the enfranchisement of
women gives them voice in the political
affairs Of the nation the league members
thought it only right that they should
be represented in that organization.
The bylaws have therefore been amend
ed so that the membership now includes
the women voters of the state as well as
the men.

THE COLLINS WINTER FESTIVAL
The year that Jack Frost oversight,
you remember, the Goblns did not have
their yearly color festival, and whom
Jack awoke he began to think how SCI
fish he had been.
'I'll make it up TO the little fellows,
he said, "by giving them an ice festival
and it shall be the grandest any of the
magic folk have ever held"
So one night Jack Frost crept into
the woods and told the Goblins his plan,
and when they heard it they were so
pleased that they decided to invite the
SGnomes and Elves and the Fairies.
"All you little people will need your
fur coats" Jack Frost told them. "for
