How about it. every one? Is everyone rendy for an other party?" “Are we?" they all asked in such All Chuckled. a tone that Billie Brownie didn’t have to ask the second time. “Well, that's nice, Isn’t it?" he asked his brother Bennie. “I should just say so,” answered Bennie. “Well, everyone, tell everyone else, and all come yourselves to our party which will be held this very after noon. And as it's late in the morning, everyone must leave and hurry away from here except the brownies, for we must be making preparation# for our entertainment.” They all chuckled and laughed and all went their way, many of them to ask others who were not around. Billie Brownie and Bennie Brownie set to work aided by all the other brownies. What a time they had, what a time! For they had such a little while In which to get ready that they fell over each other and hurried, scurried about. But they were ready when after noon came. They had made a beau tiful snow fort. There were large and lovely rooms with snow sofas and snow cushions in which the ladies were supposed to take off their capes and bonnets. If (bey wanted to take' • hem off. Of course no one did, but It was to make the snow fort especial ly lovely, for it wasn't only a snow fort. Attached to the fort with a lit tle passage mpde in a great hank of snow there was a lovely house. The fort was made like all forts hat inside along with a number of soft snow balls ready for a snow-hall tight to finish the afternoon's enter- taimuei't, there were long snow tobies upon which were great dishes filled with goodies to eat and goodies to drink. They hadn’t known Just how they could arrange lo keep things hot on cold snow 1 So Pdllie Brownie had sent a very small brother of his to see the Fairy Queen. He had asked her If she would conie for a moment and wave hhr magic wand so such a thing could be. So everything was Settled and ready when all the guests arrived. Billie Brownie and Bennie Brownie had any number of plans and schemes arranged. There were games and there weje jokes and there were puz zles and there were prizes for every thing. little prizes made out of snow! Of course It was more for the idea of having prizes than anything else for they were all simple, but they were most beautifully made and every one loved them. At last, just before It was time for the party to be over, as the guests had all eaten of the delicious meal which had been prepared, along came a lovely creature wearing a white mantle of snow which was covered with jewels she had been given by the jewelers Sun and Snow. At first they didn’t recognize her. And then all at once, everyone shouted, “Why, it’s the Fairy Won drous Secrets 1” “The very same," she answered. You see, Fairy Wondrous Secrets la very busy all the time, and the fairies she sees most of are the Fairies who have their home far down where the pack ages of secrets are done up. And when they have balls they have them right there where they all are. “I’m taking a trip," said Fairy Wondrous Se- crets, “finding out what children want and need mostly and then I'm going back and tell the fairies who pack up the secrets in the little brndles so they can be sent around with the aid of the Dream land King. ‘T happened to hear you were hav ing a party and so 1 thought I'd drop InJ’ She was followed by cheers and cheers. "And." she said, when she was hur rying off. after thanking them for the wonderful tlpie, “I’m going to tell the fuities to pack up many secrets which tell ihat one of the best things ia the world Is to be wanted urouud and liked by others!” When Birds Return.
