The King's Pageants Three years ago a group of fairies trooped into the halls of Clymer High School, the castle of King Davis. This was in accordance with the ancient custom that nine months out of every year he spent hy all the fairies of Mother Nature's Land in this castle. As they entered the large doorway, they were greeted by the King and his Princes. The little fairy girls were dressed in pale green. wearing a cluster of purple and white lilacs hanging from their shoulders, while the little boys wore blue suits trimmed in gold. The King had had a special chamber prepared for all these young fairies, and he appointed one of his eldest and wisest princes, Mr. Ober, to look after them. Prince Ober suggested that they choose some of their number to act as spokesmen for them during the gathering. Accordingly, they selected four pages: john Strong, Lester Howells, Clyde Brown, and Dorothy Hancock. The King had arranged that during this gathering his small guests should be entertained by four spectacular pageants. The fairies were delighted when they learned of his plans, and awaited the entertainment in eager expectation. The first pageant, entitled Algebra, was presented under the supervision of Mr. Bane. Small elves dressed in brown came out upon the stage, and per- formed marvelous acrobatic feats, such as forming the letters X, Y, and Zg several represented zeroes, while groups of them formed triangles, pyramids and equations. The second pageant was called Science, and, to the surprise of the fairies, they found Mr. Ober to be the director. Great wizards placed strange substances into crystal tubes, and held them over dancing blue flames. Peculiar odors filled the air. Finally, after following weird formulas, and uttering strange in- cantations, the contents of the tubes were brought forth, and the amazed audi- ences beheld chemical phenomena as yet unknown to the scientific world. The third performance, Civics, was sponsored by the Honorable Prince Gramley, a magician remarkable for his ability to tlash upon the Wall pictures of the old and the new ways of living. XVe saw the cities and governments of ancient days, and then were immediately transported to this present era. His artistry afforded the guests a great deal of pleasure. The last paegant, English, was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The plot concerned the story of a queer old man, with a long gray beard and a glittering eye, who detained a party of wedding guests and insisted upon telling the tale of his strange adventures as a mariner, and of the ill luck which was brought to him by a strange white bird. The unusual effectiveness of this scene was due, no doubt, to the able direction of Princess Smith. When this last performance was ended, King Davis came forth, and, with a wave of his wand and three magic words, the fairies found themselves mir- aculously transported to their own homes. Time passed swiftly, and, in the following September, the fairies again re- turned to the Castle. After they had been welcomed heartily, the king told them 29
