PIXIE VISITORS

Please tell the Pixie Postman that I don't think these pixies are related to them because a. fairy who lives at the bottom of our garden told me they were very lazy and that they had spent all their money on jelly beans.

One day I peeped outside my door And found two pixies who were poor 'W‘Ve'ra very poor," the pixies said, “And have to beg our daily bread.”

I threw the front door open wide And bade the pixies come inside; I gave them bread and jam and tea, And wondrous tales they told to me. They sat each in a. dolly’s chair, And no one else could see them there— The grown-up folk, they could not see, They thought I had my dolls to tea. When it was time for them to go, The pixies curtsied very low. “Thank you very much," may said, “We liked your jam and liked your bread; “’9'“ come again another day, But now we must be on our way.” GLORIA RAVVLINSON, aged 10,

A ROGUE IN ROMPFRS

I have a little baby brother. He Is one year and eight months old. and he gets into all kinds of mischief. Once he filled my mother’s shoes with water, and another time he wrote on the dressing table with blue crayon. —From a. Sunbeam’s letter.
