THE ELVES TRIP.

Let US just take a trip through the
beautiful world" said Fly-High. i've
seen so many lovely things lately that
/ would like all the Elves to see. too.
And it might be nice if I'VE invited
some of the fairies and the brownies
to come along, too, and some of your
other friends. feel as though could

of the brownies and fairies could
bring along their magic wings and
caps so that they could fly from place

'We'll tell everyone we're going to
take trip said the Elves. Its a
fine suggestion, Fly-High."
s"Just say" Fly-High explained,
shat it is to be a trip of beauty.
We're going to see so many beautiful
things and not any one special thing"

The very same morning they start

carry the messages about and many
of the friends of the Elves came on
the trip that Fly-High had suggested
they should take.
], They started off and as they went
along Fly-High would turn around and
explain what everything was in case
some of them didn't notice and as he
said, they were going to see so many
things and each of them so worth see
ing, that he would make sure no one
missed a thing.
First they few into a garden where
white feathery valerian flowers were
sending their fragrant messages of
love and happiness all through the
garden. Next they went along rail-
way track.
You will wonder why i am bring
ing you along here" said Fly-High,
''for it seems so ugly. But in a mo-
ment you will see."
And soon they came upon some love-
~ columbines, of many different
colors which made the whole of the
dull, dingy looking railway look
gorgeous and brilliant and beautiful.
Lovely, eh?" said Fly-High, 'sand

course we've made a little money, but
when we let this scheme wind up in a
big howl from everybody we've got

value of you. And it's you that was
the backbone of the whole idea. Now
this is only passing thought, but let's
consider it-which way would be the
best for US in the long run, to close
up this deal and get out from under,
and take little profit and be in dutch

There, too, was birch tree and a

There were pink morning glories

about on the shore, waving their tails
