ready to hear 1t.
"They said," Mr.. Sun continued,
"that by doing this they would break

'What" the Sun Fairies exclaimed.
''We have never heard that express
sion"
Neither had T." said Mr.. Sun. And
was puzzled as to the meaning Of 1t
for some time"
Did you finally?" the Sun Fairies
asked.
YES" said Mr.. Sun, 81 kept looking
In the window and paying attention,
and at last 1t was explained so that

"You see, at first | was particularly

early in the year to break the ice.
"Well. | shall explain the expression
to you
"They meant when they said that
they would break the Ice, by having
games ready at the start so that the
party would begin right off In the right
| spirit, that the ones who We're shy
would lose their shyness right away
"Breaking the Ice meant that they
would break the stiffness and the shy
plans made for them. And 1t seemed
such nice expression
I'VE should think 1t would" said
| the Sun Fairies. "And we feel happy
| about it, too"
"Of course. knew you would"
said Mr.. Sun.
"And then" he continued, Il saw
the guests arrive at the party and sure
enough! Everything began so gay
| for every one was interested in tha
spider-web game. And then | saw d
cake with lighted candles upon IL for
| it seemed it was the birthday of one
| of the guests. The candles were Of
all sizes, some short, some tall, some
looked as though they almost might
topple over for they had melted In
those directions at a party given 81 me
time before.
And | heard the candles say in
their bright little fashions:
I'VE like ii because we're used

some very superior candles In superior
little holders and they're even In

DELAYING THE PARTY

uT We just heard an expression
which interested me greatly"
said Mr.. Sun.
"Tell 1t to us, please, Mr.. Sum-" said
the Sun Fairies. I'VE wonder whether
we have ever heard the expression or
not"
This was It." said Mr.. Sun. Some
people were planning party. And
they suggested to each other all sorts
OF things which would make the party
start off with vim and dash and all
that sort Of thing.
''They said that when people first
got together at party, or anything
like that, they were apt to be little
shy at first.

to amuse themselves and each other
