“The Fairy Balloon”

Way down the Scottish glen rode fast the fairy men,

Each upon a cricket thoroughbred, sir.

They were quite plainly seen, dressed all in hunter’s green

With thistles in their jockey caps of red, sir.

Lady Summer

 Summer is a countess fair

Clothed in shimmering sheen,

Rosy footsteps everywhere

Show where she has been.

Easter Must Have A Pale Pink Innovation!

Morning-Glory’s Easter Bonnet

Miss Glory, discarding last year’s creation,

For Easter must have a pale pink innovation;

The dream of last year is faded and small,

And blue’s the wrong color – it’s not chic at all.

“An American Beauty,” says Posy, “is style,

To wear my old bonnet is hardly worth while,

Since Paris proclaims that a Madame Cochet

Is entirely too small and absurdly passé.”

A YEAR WITH THE FAIRIES.

He fell in love as diamonds, pearls and flowers slipped from her lips.

“TOADS AND DIAMONDS”

“Oh, sir,” replied the girl, “my mother has turned me out of doors.”

The Prince was amazed when he saw five pearls and diamonds fall shining from her mouth. “What does this mean?” he cried. “Tell me all that has happened.”

So with all manner of flowers and jewels slipping from her lips as she talked, she told him the whole story, and he fell in love with her while she was telling it.
