Mermaid Fairies: r- - .for nnaren By MARY GRAHAM BONNER fairies called THEKE are somefairies because they're In the water more than they are out of It They had decided to help the little fishes with a swimming party which they were planning. They knew Just what the other fairies would like. - Every fairy In Fairyland was In vlted. There were the wood fairies, the dawn fairies, the evening fairies all of them were invited, and they made great preparations over the way they should go. In the first place they wore lovely 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 the fishes didn't go In the race. That would hardly have been fair I And when Mr. Pickerel said, "Go." and made the terrific jump and splash with his tali all the fairies jumped and it was several before any of thera actually got started. They had been so startled by Mr. Pickerel's mighty splash. That amused the fishes and It amused the fairies, too. Granny Perch gave the prize, and how she did wiggle her fins when she presented it. The prize was a new set of water wings made out of the softest and loveliest of moss that came from the bottom of the lake and which had been made 'by Granny Perch into the wings. Then all the fishes took the fairies to their Pond Lily Cove where they had a banquet of delicious water weed salad, water mnss Ice cream and pond lily lemonade. But the winner of the prize was a little fairy named Fairy Perch because she was so at home In the water.

It would seem that the filmy flowery chiffon gowns which have been the Joy and the pride of us all, these several seasons past, simply could not be lovelier, but with the myriads of little bows, and the girdles, and the sashes of velvet ribbon which fashion is adding to the new spring and summer styles they are sounding yet another note of- enchantment One of the popular uses of velvet ribbon Is to tie it simply around the waist, as Is shown in the picture. Assuming that the print of which this youthful frock is fashioned Is In tones of rose, lilac and pale green, a happy selection for the velvet ribbon would be French - print (often dotted) voile, or chiffon frocks which are animated with bows or a bow of bright red velvet ribbon.
