pecially for the play by Miss Bess Kibler.

ton. 'With Rousolka lives Famor, ner !
little brother, who prattles of fairies,
and especially of fairies who guarJ
over the cotton fields.
Other peasants of the land tediously
seed out the cotton. They are driven
on with their work by the Gnome of
Cotton Seed, a spirit of tenacious energy,

He commands them to work in tfr?
grain fields. The decree comes to this
secluded hamjet at the celebration of i
midsummer's night. Little Famor is
distressed, because he says that the
Fairy of tne Cotton Field will die.
Rousalka pleads with Monjik, her lov-!
er, to invent a quicker way zo seed the
cotton and thus save the cotton fields*
Monjik makes a vow never to cele-'
brate his wedding feast until he finds a
quicker way.
Famor runs away to tell the Fairy j
of the Cotton Field of the king's decree.
The Fairy is deeply grieved because
it is a fairy law that the fairy
guards an untiiiea neia must uxc. o^c.
summons the King of all the Fairies,
who grants her one week longer of life.
/That night she goes to bid farewell
to all her familiar haunts. The Gnome
of the Cotton Seed comes out from
under his hamp&r, which has been left
on the edge of the field. At first he
mocks the fairy band and declares his
knowledge of a secret which will save
their loves. Then, struck with the submission
and beauty of tae Fairy of the
Cotton Field, he declares his love. The
Fairy spurns him.
Monjik becomes discouraged with his
in. ention. He can not discover tiie
SP/TPt.
--The
.Gnome determine- to give his
life for tie Fairy of the Coaon FieiJl.
The King of all Fairies assures him
Xzzi it will :.o. ' suffice. Then the
C-nome determine .: ivj wj his secret.!
He draws plans tor Monjik while Monjik
sleeps. Then the Gnome dies. The
ting accepts the plans. The Gnome is
transformed into the Elf of Snow./ Cotton
for his sacrifice. The King of the
Fairies betrothes the Fairy of Cotton .
to him. Monjik's vow is thus .fulfilled ;
and he celebrates his wedding feast, j
