see, and so much to wonder about that
she had no room In her mind for fear.
She did wish sho could ask the kind
breeze about some things she saw as
they passed over the earth, but like the
wise little fairy Bhe was, sho wasted no
precious time asking questions not she!
She Just stored tho questions up safely
1n her small mind and saved them for
some other day. Then she could watch
with all her might as thoy Journeyed.
Finally they were so far above the earth
thnt the forest looked like a brown
handkerchief; the rivers seemed like tiny
threads and the lakes like fairy bath
tubs. "Now we're almost there," said the
breeze, and In less than a minute ho
landed the fairy safe and sound on a
great white cloud!
"Now look for yourself," said tho
breeze, "and see what you can learn about
sunbeams." And, with a breath of good
Cheer, he was gone and the little forest
fairy was left alone In the great big sky.
No, not alone either, for In nmlnute she
saw all round her sunbeams. Big sun
beams, little sunbeams, middle-sized sun
beams and every other kind, and they
were all working as hard as they could.
The forest fairy stepped up and spoke to
the nearest one, "Will you please toll me."
she said, "what you are dolne so busily?"
The sunbeam smiled happily and re
plied, "We're making the silver Hnlngs to
the clouds, dear fairy, that's what we do
every cloudy dayl"

I have examined your-Lester Player
Piano carefully, and have "been very much im
pressed with its satisfying rendition of the
works of the great composers. The fidelity
with which even the touch and the tonal color
is produced is really marvelous, particularly
when taking into account the Bensitivenesn of
the instrument, its instant attack and the ease
of tho pedaling with which this ef feot 1b pro
duced. i
Please send the instrument so looted
to-day to my sohool, as I wish to use it in il
lustrating to the advanced pupile the various
renditions of tho great artiste of the day.
Accept my hearty congratulations
