sons. So that the younger children should not have for- gotten their ability to entertain they held a festivity, called a Mixer. And thus the weeks and months flew and the happy Springtime came, and with it the great success in the lives of the children of “19”. A wonderou? play they gave, “Green Stockings , by name, and then the fairy came again and saying.

glee. To guide them through this year they chose Gor- don SUvey, and Ruth Bielefeldt and Ruth Briscoe to write in the big books, and Ruth Alexander to furnish enter- tainment for the other children. Giant Harris came to take Giant Rittinger’s place and there came. al o. many new fairies and ogres to help the good children through their second year. The children worked hard but found much pleasure in the festivities of their older brothers, looking forward, always, to their mo it marvelous year. Their fairy came at last to summon them to their Junior year, and with the gayest of spirits they started out to have the be: t times in their whole life. This year Hynes Pitncr was their most gallant leader and Kathryn SaflTord his help-mtae. Marvin Danielson and Louis Schumm to horde their gold they chose. They cho3e Kileen Chaney to ring forth entertainment to make the other children gasp with wonderment. They held many festivities to obtain gold for the “Fete Day”, called Junior Reception, and the most suc- cessful was the masquerade. The good witches and gob- lins came from far and wide and turned the banquet hall into an autumn field and it was a gorgeous sight indeed. They brought the best musicians of the country and the children and their guests, dressed in beautiful costumes made merry with dance and laughter. The Fete” wai an overwhelming success. A good fairy made them a huge flag of Purple and Gold to hang in the Banquet Hall, and the fairies busied themselves from morn to night. decorating the Hall in Green and White. A band of mu- sicians from the hamlet of South Bend came and ren- dered enchanting strains of music for their dancing and Mrs. Ricketts delivered pretty recitations and Mrs. Chip- man sang charming songs. Thus the third glorious year passed, all too roon for the children of 11)” a year, though full of sorrow, because of the terrible war that was being waged out in the Great World, of pleasure. And so the children of “19 passed from frivolouj young beings into sober, studious creatures, and when the good fairy came for the fourth time she bade them put on a cloak of higher learning, and carry them-.elves with dignity. So after the usual formalities of chooung Delmar Anderson, their leader, and Ruth Bieiefeldt his aid and Ruth Bri.coe and Emery Petering to keep the few copper coins left over from the last fairy festival, and Bernice Henry to take the throne on the program day, they set about preparing a splendid reception for the younger children, at which several of the maidens gave a charming little play and four of the lads played and sang wonderously. Soon afterwards heralds brought news that the Great War had come to an end and there was great rejoicing throughout the land and a day of fete. Then a great calamity happened—a dreadful plague spread over the country and the children were forbidden to come to the castle for several weeks, and when they came back they toiled unceasingly to make up their long-neglected les- 1‘ukv twcnty-»lx
