DEAR ONES: . v\-:-.».-f; Once upon a time there was a Fairy Godhiolhe'r, and she came wandering through a certain Magic Glade in a Forest until she found a Fairy Ring. And in the middle of the Ring, with her chin cupped in her hands, sat Fairiel, thinking. ■ , "What are you thinking about?" inquired the Fairy Godmother. "About the Sea Page," answered Fairiel, "and, please; if you have a wish or two to spare, I'd like this one granted: That it will be a page to delight all my Elves and Fairies." "Ah—we'll sec," said the Fairy' Godmother, twinkling, and away she went. . '. . But do you know, Small Ones', all; this week the loveliest things have been appearing—stories, and bits of verse, and letters, and even pictures. So it really looks as though my wish were going to be granted; doesn't it? It is too early to tell yet. But next . week—we'll see! Are you all atoms of happiness these lovely days? When I read your letters I think you really . . . MUST . ... be! .. ■. . V :■ . . . . .
