THE HAPPY TOWN HEADING
x i ifi-i x iru xx i v n i v» I have just been studying the heading of the Happy Town page. When I sit down to write to you, I usually have the page beside me, and this morning I discovered a story that I had forgotten to read, so of course I had to read it right away. Then I fell to studying the Happy Town heading. To me it seems very appropriate. As you come down Tiptoe Street every Saturday, you see the curtain which screens Happy Town slowly rolling back, and one glimpses the walls of a wonderful town, which is represented by the pictures on either side of the scroll. In the left hand picture are the Hawn Lady and the Little Thought, and the road which leads across the. Fields of Childhood, to Tiptoe Street. Is that the Dawn Lady’s castle one also sees in the background? I think it must be. The right hand picture shows a fairy prince, “on palfrey white” waving to the mortal children who stand and gaze up at him. Surely this stands for the youthful mind —childhood’s golden dreams and the land of Faerie—reverything that is and belongs to youth. That, Dawn Lady, is what the Happy Town heading means to me. —Jean Mclndoe (aged 14)..
