PRETZEL Fairy tales acted out in an enchanted glade before the eyes of mere mortals is an event so rare that when a mor- tal hears of it he or she is sure to be about, gazing with wide open. raotur- ous eyes. Therefore, many little boy and girl mortals of the north shore and many of their mothers slipped in- to the charmed quiet of Craigie Lea, the home of Mrs. Andrew MacLeish, last Monday afternoon and waited eagerly for the fairies--who in ordin- ary days are students of the National Kindergarten and Elementary college. Monday was the one day that was not ordinary, and so all the girls assumed the natural shape of fairies, with fairy powers. And the stories they told and the plays they gave enthralled the mortals who came to see National Kindergarten and Elementary college midsummer frolic. Puck, the mischievous little elf, in- troduced the different parts of the pro- gram, first dancing to a song of many birds. Then Our Mammy told the chil- dren Uncle Remus' story of "The Fox and the Little Rabbit," and as soon as she had finished, there was Br'er Rab- bit himself, and before we knew it Br'er Fox came along and then the quaintest little bunnies, that immedi- ately acted out the story. The bun- nies were so delightful, with their solemn faces and their dignified coats, gud the children smiled and smiled at them. All of a sudden the play was over, and a lovely story teller told the strange tale of "The Shoemaker and the Elves," and when that was fin- ished it began to happen right in front of our eyes. There was the shoemaker, worried because he couldnt make shoes, and there came the dear little Brownies, scampering in and with a few rap-tap- taps making two elegant pairs of shoes for him! Wasn't he happy and mysti- fied when he found them! When he saw it was the Brownies who had helped him, his wife made them green ackets. You can be sure the little rownies were pleased. Puck came out again and brought a story teller from Sweden. She told all about "Little Joppe," who was in- vited to a Christmas party given by the Brownies. It was all because, as we saw with our own eyes, he had put out a bowl of porridge for them on Christmas eve. They gave Joppe fairy boots and whisked him away to their home, where they all danced merrily about a Christmas tree and had a jolly time. Although Joppe woke up in his bed the next morning, he knew he really had been with the Brownies, be- cause the porridge was gone. As soon as the play was over, the story teller asked all the mortal chil- dren if they would like to come to a Brownie party. Out came the rabbits and the Shoemaker and all the Brown- ies, and the children arose and followed like the waves in a sea. What do you suppose was at the end of the journey to the Brownies' home--ice cream cones! The afternoon was the result of work done in class room projects in tic art, children's literature, rhythms, music, design and decoration at the college. Mrs. Caroline Craw- SPE ford McLean and Miss Willmina embers of the Summer , were co-chairmen of the production. Costumes and stage settings were by Miss Nellie McLen- nan and Miss Nina Kenagy. : Committee Chairman Mrs. Edgar Foster Alden of Win- netka is one of the chairmen for the large garden fete to be given for the benefit of the Chicago Junior school under the auspices of the North End branch, Thursday, August 2, at the home of Mrs. Minna Schmidt, 2715 Sheridan road, Evanston.
