THERE are some fairies called
Il the mermaid fairies because
they're in the water more than they
are out of it.
They had decided to help the lit
tie fishes with a swimming party
which they were planning.
They knew just what the other
fairies would like.
Every fairy in Fairyland was in
vited. There were the wood fairies,
the dawn fairies. the evening fair
ies-all of them were invited, and
they made great preparations over
the way they should go.
In the first place they wore love
ly dresses of green seaweed which
really were beautiful, and they put
on their water wings of green, too,
to help them when they got tired
swimming.
The Fairy Queen wore chain OF
very fine sea shells which once upon
a time old Mr.. Pickerel had sent
her.
They had been given to him by
one Of his relations who lived in
the sea, for of course Mr.. Pick
erers home is always in fresh wa
ter-such as lake or river or
stream.
This swimming party was given
in n lake, and Mr.. Pickerel was the
host.
You can we'll guess how flattered
he was when he saw the Fairy
Queen wearing the present he had
once given her.
The fairies all arrived in their
boats made Of glass through which
they could see right down to the
bottom of the lake, which was very
deep.
The mermaid fairies and the
fishes were all swimming around
waiting for them, and when they
came all the fishes fms wiggled
with pleasure and the mermaids
whisked their beautiful hair around
their heads.
Splash, splash !" came from Mr..
Pickerel, which really meant "de-
lighted to see you"
Then Mrs. Pickerel splaShed, too,
and after that the little pickerels
splashed for all they were worth
and so on until every single fish
had given a welcome to the fairies
The fairies sailed about in their
boat, which went under the water
as well as on top. and then every
