"AUNT PAT GOES TO WIRELESS LAND"
(Continned.) Then they brought the wee fairies that carried her voice. It seemed they were alk allowed their choice ; But if a place was too far away, ‘Flre fairies just whispered her voice away. There were ’phones and loudspeakers all over the place, With an extra big one to send the bass, And whenever the wireless fairies dispersed, They’d go to the sick little children first. They never forgot to go to one They’d have been ashamed when their day was done. Over the speakers the fairies would ) bend To catch the nice greetings the nucles | would send. Then swiftly they’d run to each white little bed To tell them exactly wiat "each uncle said. And the lovely songs that the childrer: would sing Soine kind little fairy would hasten to bring. ‘I'he wireless fairies were oh so gay ‘That carried the children’s voices away. And wherever she went in the wireless zone Were fairies in charge of a speaker or. *phone. ‘They kept Aunt Pat three days and nights,
And showed her all the beautiful sights. _ The wee fairies belonging to Auntie Pat Had nothing to do so the little things sat And ever so softly they stroked her hair And said: "Will you laugh like you do down there??? But poor Aunt Pat conld only sigh. They were all so sweet sle wanted to cry. And they loved her so much they begged her to stay. : But she thought of the children at SYA. On the fast of the nights Aunt Pat was away Soireone announced: ‘Station 3YA.’’ ' And what do you thing it was: Uncle Sam. We had come np again on the Sumner tram. T’was the Children’s Hour, and she | heard Uncle Jack. : So she thought it was time she was starting back. So the tall giraffe once again was brought. He seemed to haye been most carefully _ taught. And again was Aunt Pat by the fairies : lec And placed inside the coach of red. When she still was up-oh, ever so high She thought she heard voices, as she went by. And then she laughted, for of course. | she knew ‘T’was Big Brother’s voice and Peterkin’s too, ; ‘They were asking riddles as she passed © through The very thing they were sure to do. But the riddle’s answer she did not kuow. It was: ‘Where does the wind from a windinill go?" She was too far down to hear the rest. And she wondered and wondered if Peterkin guessed But she got beck safely without being geen And nobody guessed where Aunt Pat had been, So now when you hear her happy laugh You will think of the pride of that talt gira And Aunt Pat is speaking to you, You will know what it is that the fairies do; Aud all little children, both near and far Will know who the wireless fairies ates | And whenever you hear her over the air, Won’t you all just wish that you’d all been there!!
