"a Fairy Tale for Children %
By Mary Graham Bonner

Along through the woods came
countless little fairies dressed in
wonderful dresses of dark blue and
purple.
They wore silver crowns and they
carried wands Of silver with silver
stars which dropped on the messy
ground.
Hello, pine trees" called Fairy
Twilight-Bell. 81 see the day fairies
have gone to Sunderland.
"You have put them to sleep by
your lovely singing"
Now the fairies of the twilight come
out just after Mr.. Sun has gone to
bed and at the hour of day which
people call twilight.
Fairy Twilight-Bell was named be
cause the twilight fairies voted for
her as their special fairy, and she
loved the twilight too.
Then her voice always sounded like
q beautiful silver bell.
The moon was so glad he had de-
cided to get up early.
Il just love party" he said, grin
ming. There is nothing I like so
much. l hope you will choose hide
and-go-seek as one of your games
before you begin the dancing"
1--WE will, Mr.. Moon" the twilight
fairies shouted. and from away off in
the woods an echo sounded.
eve will, Mr.. Moon. we will"
But it was really not an echo at
all. The sound came from the voices
of the night fairies who were just
hurrying along to the ball.

HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEpERS

The woman who wears glasses should
generally wear a hat with brim.
Fried or highly seasoned foods,
pickles, coffee or tea should never be
fed to small children
Try painting the wall behind the
kitchen stove with three coats of
waterproof varnish. Most spots may
be removed easily from this with soap
and water.
Chicken fat is particularly good for
making cake that have a decided
flavor such as chocolate, spice, or car
amel cakes.
If the bacon for breakfast is
drained on a piece of brown paper
after it is fried it will be crisp and
free from fat.
Avoid the high price of eggs in
winter by preserving them in spring
when they are inexpensive. Water
glass is one of the best preservatives.

ated what the fairies did to amuse
him so very much that he sent them
joyous surprise!
He told the moonbeams to play
with the fairies, and then he asked
the shadows from Shadowland to at.
tend the bail, which they did.
The shadows danced with the fair
les and the moonbeams, and all
through the night the pine trees sang
and made wondrous, soft music.
And Mr.. Moor chuckled to himself
and said:
Certainly fairylanc is not quiet to-
night The pine trees were right.
tits ball, a real ball, and what
is NOR it's real fairyland BALI
the best kind in the world"
And as Mr.. Moon smiled and grinned
and talked all the time of how happy
he was, the shadows, moonbeams and
fairies kept on dancing.
1t seemed as If they would never
grow tired, but at last the night
seemed to become less dark and the
early gray dawn began to appear.
Hurry, hurry" said the fairies,
I'VE must leave for we are the night
fairies and the dawn fairies will soon
be here.
"This is their time and we have
had ours"
So the night fairies left and the
.wn fairies came. but as Mr.. Moon
went to bed for the daytime he said !:
81 was the BEST ball of the year."

Suits and Ensembles

here given. Upon giving close scrutiny
TO this nobby tweed suit, one discov-
ers belt across the back of the jack

scanned pocketS each of which ex-
press a note of utra-chic. There's a
kick plat at the back of the skirt,
had you noticed that? Oh, there's no
doubt about it, suits this season are
fiinging mighty challenge to the
much exploited ensemble costumes.
If you are an ensemble enthusiast,
look at this one in the picture to the
right. It's almost a complete daytime
wardrobe in itself. There's its seven
eighth length coat for instance-it will
serve admirably as a separate wrap,
the whole spring and summer through.
The skirt is attached to bodice and
that means it can be worn with one
blouse, then another and another.
That's why an ensemble is one eco
nOmical buy, at any price. 1t is so
adaptable to mood and occasion.
Seeing that it is fashionable for
ones blouse to match ones coat lin
ing, the blouse and coat lining of gay
patterned crepe which enlivens this
navy cloth ensemble does that very
thing. 1t is significant that this CO.'S
tune be carried out in navy, for navy
is really very smart color this sea-
son. Especially is navy a favorite
with the better dressed class. Both
separate coats and ensembles carried
out all in navy are quite patrician at
this moment.
So outstanding is navy that hats,
shoes and pocketbooks are in this col
or, carrying out the ensemble theme
from head to foot. The navy favored
is an animated blue, the tone that is
so generally becoming.

other dust-pan, in selecting it one
should see that the edge is firm and
