FROM A LETTER
This week I enclose a painting, which I have called ‘“The Rainbow Fairies." Surrounded by brightly-tinted autumn leaves, they play with the cloudlets, the fluffy thistledown, and tease the mortal children by blowing their wet kisses about to dampen clothes and playing-fields. ... —Dorothy Sanders (aged 15). ONE BY ONE Her© is an amusing game. A mirror is covered with a cloth, and taken with a lot of secrecy into a small room. Then the little guests are called into the room one by one, and asked what animal they would like to see. As soon as the wish is stated, the cloth is raised and the child sees himself. BLINDFOLDED RACES Have you ever played this game—where half the players are blindfolded and the other half are not? The blindfolded players are arranged in a straight line across the room or garden. The not blindfolded players are their “guides,” to keep them from getting into danger. The blindfolded players may take hold of their arms and lead them where they want to go, but the not blindfolded players may not help them, and have to go where they are led. This is like all other blindfolded games, great fun. And you will find that soon you are all roaring with laughter at the funny scrapes you get into.
