Or are you eagerly waiting for the birds to come and the flowers? Well, Spring will soon be here and King Winter will go—so I am going to tell you your last WINTER STORY. Next week I wish you would all write a pretty postcard to me—tolling me of a bird you love and would like to hear some story about. Address it as usual—AUNT ESTE, care of the Tele graph, Harrlsburg, Pa. And now listen to the story of HOW THE RAINDROPS WENT TO A MASQUERADE DANCE Once upon a time in Sky land there was a loud rap on Mother Cloud's front door Before she had half a chance to get to it about a thousand of her her raindrop children had raced from the nursery and were standing on tip-toe at the windows—while some of the larger ones were trying their best to unlatch the door. Poor Mother Cloud! She had tried so hard to teach her chil dren that it was not polite to rush to the door in that manner —but It seemed the children forgot—not because they would have been naughty for worlds—but just because —well, Just because they were children! So when Mother Cloud reached the door, she had to push back children on every side. And when she finally did get it open —;who do you suppose it was? Why nobody but old Bluster Wind acting as postman. As soon as the door was open Into the room floated a big white envelope, and Bluster Wind was gone to the next cloud house. Well such a time as Mother Cloud had to get open that en velope. There were babies to the right or her, babies to the left of her, babies in front of her, hollering and shouting. But at last she had it open and held in her hand a wonderful invitation which read like this: "Mr. and Mr«, Hurricane Invite al» your children to be preaent at n large mask ball, to be held Friday evening, In the north room of old Mother Enrth'a Winter Home. Kindly have each come In coat u m e." Well after Mother Cloud had finished reading the invitation She couldn't hear herself think. Really she couldn't. Such scream ing and laughing and clapping of hands you never heard —-and I don t believe you ever will hear—for It is not given to little boys and girls who live on earth to ever see such large families of children as Mother Cloud had In that house of hers. Everyone was happy but Mother Cloud herself. "Dear me!" she sighed. "It's all very well for you children to be happy and clapping your hands. Now ir it were an ordin ary party I'd be happy with you. But a Masked Ball! Dear me. where will I ever get different clothes for all of you?" For as she looked around every one of those happy smiling faces of the little rain children looked alike—everyone of tliem had on Identical ly the same style of rompers—the only difference was that some were larger than others. The up spoke one of the bigger raindrops: "Mother dear, open the door just a wee craolc. so that the rest can't get out—and let me go scouring around the sky until I find :i cheap dressmaker. You simply can't he bothered making nil our .lollies for that «ianc«." HARRISBURG OSSifr TELEGRAPH EPHRITI REFUSES TO SELL LIGHT PLANT Offer of $40,000 by S. R.

So Mother Cloud opened the door the wee-est speck, and out scampered the THE BIG RAINDROP. Through the air he scurried until he reached a great shop known as THE AIK SHOP. Here he stopped for a moment. "Can you tell me whether you make dresses for masquerade balls?" he asked. . _ "Oh, yes, Indeed," answered the. shop keeper, Air Current. "We make all styles and shapes. What do you wish?' "Well," said the Big Raindrlp, "my many thousands of sisters and brothers and myself are invited to a large ball to be given on Friday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Hurricane, and .mother Is entirely too busy to bother with us. Could you make that many gowns In so short u time." Shopkeeper Air Current only laughed. "We make millions In a moment," said he. "Bring your sis ters and brothers just as they are on the evening of the party, and tell your mother not to worry—for this Is a fairy shop—and as they pass through it, there will fall on each shoulder a wonderful ball gown—and not one will be alike." So Big Raindrop went home and told his mother. 'I have heard of those Air Current and Atmosphere Shops," said she. "They really make beautiful gowns." And so It was that early J'rlday evening Mother Cloud opened her door —and out skipped thousands of rain children In plain rain rompers. So It happened they went through the shops of the air currents. So it happened that on each Bhoulder dropped a beautiful coat. Some were dressed like stars and some like cres cents and some like moons Some looked round and some looked square and some looked oblong and some looked criss-cross. And each and every one looked a little different from the other. My but they were happy when they reached the ball room, the north room of Mother Earth's Winter Home. My but they were happy as thoy danced and played to the music of Uncle Wind and his orchestra of Breezes. My but they were happy as they met millions of other raindrops, all dressed In fancy costume, like themselves. And when they compared notes they found that one and all had visited some Air current or Atmosphere Shop. There were even some there dressed In coats of Ice so that they looked like stones. There were others who were dressed in sleet armor. But every one agreed that the little rain children In their beauti ful white coats of all descriptions were the prettiest. In the morning they all lay white and still on the floor of Mother Earth's North Room—tired out with dancing and playing. And nothing was left to show the earth children there had been a ball, except a little of the scenery which Jack Frost left on the window pane, and the last dying fiddles of Uncle Wind's orchestra. The earth children could not even see the beautiful dresses of the rain children. True, they saw they were white and spark ling, but there were so man of them huddled together that only with a mlcrosope could they Bee the wonderful styles of their clothes. It will pay any one of you, dear little ones, to take a micro scope some day after there has been a great ball given by the Hurricanes or Blizzards, and examine the dresses of the llttlf rain children. I am sure you would wonder more than ever at the beantv of the snow clothes. lovingly, AUNT ESTE. MARCH 7,1914. Sleighing Parties Enjoy Trip to Piketown Homes I'lketotvn, Pa., March 7.
