GOBLIN AND THE FAIRIES
THE fulrlea were holding a very
grund picnic one nljclii In a dell. [I
was a rery large anil grand affair, be-
cause all of the fairies were there.
All the mortals were good on thaf
night. No one was In trouble; the
mortal children hud all gone to lied
on time and ho aJI the fairy folk were
free to enjoy tlieniselvea.
A big feast wiis prepared on n flat
rock with a lacy cobweb covering.
Dew drops crystal-like glistened In the
moonlight, making a beautiful table
decoration.
I'olid-lllv ||slii>s held all the fairy
dainties. and the Hrelllea and the
moonlight made a fairyland picture,
which of course It was.
The goblins were out, too. but us
their woods were not anywhere near
the picnic ground of the fulrlea no
one had thought a thing about them.

But the tricky little creatures were
out that night doing some work be-

thnt 'this work took some of their
band right to the dell where the
fairies were holding, their picnic.
Itlghl Into a tr*e that hung over
the rock where the fenst was spread
It took them, too, and when they saw
all the good things on the table one
little goblin called Slippy by his broth-
ers because he could slip through Ihe
smallest crack or crevice, crept to the
tip end of a bough to get a betler
view.
Slippy was so small he could go to
tip ends In perfect safety, but this
time he was so Intent upon what he

tumbled right Into the dish of lovely
pudding made from butterfly eggn.
It was all soft and frothy, and when
Slippy Jumped out. there he stood on
the table looking like a tiny nnow
man. *

"Well," said the lair.v ipiei n. "what j
have you to say foi yourself? I n
less you can give a good reason for
being here, a very good one, mind you,
you will have to be punished, for by
fairy law anyone who enters our dell
on feast nights uiust be punished 111
some way. Now, what have you to
say?"
Slippy (tohlln was busy trying to
set the sweet, nice frothy pudding off
of la-- clothes, utid I am sorry to have
to tell it. I"tt he licked his fingers and
ate every bit he could, for butterfly-
irr puddlnj? Is one of Ihe most de-
liclo'is dishes the fairies make.
Slippy wi's frlirhtened, but not so
fri'-ii! ned he could not eat, though
when the queen sjmke In such a stern
tone lie stopped eaiing and replied. "I
have an excuse, your majesty, for be-
ing In the dell, tin u-, h not for having
fallen in'o the pudding," he siild.
"i cane with some of our band to
put back a bird's egg some had boys
hud stolen, and when It was laid on
the ground we took It. Oh, how those
boys hunted and wondered what had
happened," Slippy laughed as he re-
membered how funny It was.
"That Is my excuse for being In the
dell, but, your majesty, your table was
what tempted me to lose my hold on
the branch, nnd you know what hap-
pened."
"What shall his punishment be, my ,
children?" the queen asked her fairies,
and Sllppy's eyes grew big as he
waited.
"He shall be sentenced to stay and
have auppor with us," said all Ihe
fairies "He as doing a go al deed
and no wonder he tumbled when he
saw all the nice things we are to
have for supper."
"That Is Just what I expected you
to say," replied the queen, m
"Sllppy's brothers were pretty sorry
when they heard of the feast he had
with the fairies, for perhaps they, too,
might have been Invited to have some
of the good things If they lupl not run
away and left him when lie tumbled

HELEN ROWLAND
TfVERY man believes that u girl
should have romantic and beasitl-
ful Ideals—but that she ahould consider
them all fulfilled when she succeeds In
marrying a fat little man with a double
chin and n passion for golf.
_
Many a beautiful memory of romance

attempt to cling to tha reality, until aba
cboked the laat apark of life out of It
There still exists, here and there,
the kind of woman who would not look
under the bed for a burglar without
first powdering her nose and seeing If
her hair looked right.
Sometimes, when one man eteale a
woman from another, the latter feela
almost aa a dog would feel If another
dog atole hla muzzle.
The sr?rage man firmly bellevee
that, when a woman promlaea to "love
and honor" him, she ahould go right on
doing It, automatically, no matter what

Something to
Think si bout
By P. A. WALKER
It, that our minds may not he filled
with fear and finally overcome with
sickening apprehension.
In business, as In love, most of our
miserable failures result from our re-
fusal to consider seriously (he step
beyond.
For some paltry reason, a whim of
the fancy, or a laxity of activity, we
find ourselves at the crucial moment
weary of the chase.
So we sit In the Inviting shade of a
friendly nook, while our more ambi-
tious rivals steal a march upon us and
capture the prize, only a atep beyond
our Impatient reach.
The blame Is our own. But the Irii^i
never penetrates our souls until the
clear perspective of years gives us a
sharper vision which enables us to see
our folly.
It Is not until then that we fully
understand our shortcomings.
To make amends for our own de-
ficiencies, we proceed to pass around
advice to our Intimates, which, as a
rule, falls on barren ground. They
know ua!
There Is but a step between suc-
cess and failure, llkewlae but a step
h tween hope and despair. When the
occasion conies for action very few of
us, alas, know how to make the step,
though It Is Inviting and has sn air of
simplicity.
And yet there Is probably no other
movement so vitally Important to
man's future success as the step Just
beyond.

With Al Sweet's Singing Band aa
the stellar regular musical attraction,
seVdiui bands have been engaged to
ass.at In entertaining patrons at the
bu.« Fair of Louisiana, October 30 to
November 9, Inclusive. Band music Is
iKusiut red as much a part ut a State
Fair as is the agricultural show or
uuy other essential part of the big
enterprise, and in arranging tor the
laii pt-ogram the management kept
this fact prominently in mind as
shown by the splendid offering In
music It has booked.
The Al Sweet hand is composed of
a dozen and a half famous Hussar en-
tertainers. Their Instruments are
gold-plated and valued at $5,000.
Their costumes are strictly of tha
Hue kit pattern. in every respect
they have the appearance of real
bund members, attired In regimentals,
and the type of music they furnish
will eonviuce any audience that they
give a program well worth the price
of admission, and theu some.
Uesiues the Instrumental features,
singing Is on this band's program. Its
male musical chorus Is famous.
Through this chorus the band gets the
title "siiigiug band."
If the audience enjoya Jazz, It will
get It, plenty of It, all kinds. Higher
classes of music may also be expect-
ed, for Al Sweet Is very renourceful
In his programs and presents variety
enough to charm every appetite and
desire. The Sweet organization has
entertained at the Louisiana State
Pair before. That's the reason they
are booked again.
Of the other bands to be heard at!
the State Fair this year la the Centen-
ary college organization. It haa mads
a name for itself, and the manage
msnt feels fortunate in having book- !
fed it.
The same applies to the L. S. U. and
the Morris & Castle Show banda.
