CHILDREN'S CORNER.

My dear Children and Grown-Ups too. A week or two ago I asked anyone who felt like it to send me a riddle- me-ree. I have received a long one signed by "Constant Reader, but Non-Competitor" which as you will probably guess too, sounds like a Grown-Up.

I wonder how many Grown-Ups read this Corner? I should rather like to know.

So I am printing the riddle-meree this week and will you all try and Feter guess it? Send the answer to Pas, cio The China Mail Editor.” before Wednesday, March 9. Sign it with your full name and put Grown-Up Or Not Grown-Up, whichever you may be. Then I shall put all the answers in a bat (these things always have to be done with a hat you know !) and the first correct one which I draw will have a prize. And a very nice prize too. Only you must be sure and put your full name and *Grown-Up" or "Not Grown-up" because. I do not want to give a 'Grown-Up" a book of nursery thy mes or a very small person "The Life of Napoleon" or something stodgy like that.

And now set to work all of you and puzzle it out!

Your loving.

"When he came to the bank where he had heard the fairies talking he listened for a few minutes but there was no sound.

"Never mind," he said to himself," I will come back again by and by."

So off he went with the blue engine and soon was busy filling up the trucks with stones, pretending that it was coal, and taking it off to different places

After a time he grew tired of that and wert back to the bank.

"This time the fairies were there.

Billy heard one say, "Pancy open- ing your shop at this hour Caramellä! We have all been up for hours."

To which someone replied, "Yes but you forget that the Fern Fairies had a dance last night. I was there till two o'clock, and I simply could not wake up this moming”

Bang went a door and a tiny fairy ran out from behind some leaves carrying some hat boxes made of bark, tied round with grass strings.

"Oh please do stop!" "cried Billy, "And tell me if I can see your shops to-day."

The fairy looked at him for a mirute and then she said, "Are you the little boy who came here last week?"

"Now I will show you the shops.” And as it is your the Queen said, birthday I will give you a bag of} money and you can buy whatever you like.".

Thank you so minch," Billy, who was delighted, cried. He took the rose petal bag that she offered him and found that it was full of tiny seeds (which the fables use money).:

The Queen seemed to have for gotten about the spoiled hat and the fairy messenger ran off with the remaining two boxes.

"Come with me," commanded the Queen and she led the way up the bank One of the dragon flies went on ahead and knocked on each leaf door to which they came.

At once the doors were opened and out ran the fairy shopkeepers all in broad green aprons. They bowed to the Queen and said to her. What can I do for Your Majesty to-day? and to Billy." And how can I serve you Sir?"

There were about twenty shops with brightly polished windows full of everything imaginable.

There was a grocer's with pots of ginger jam, aats' eggs and butter made frem buttercups.

Next to that Billy saw a window on which was written "S. Spider. Jerseys, overcoats, etc., made at shortest notice" and inside were three fat spiders behind the counter, spinning away busily.

"Yes I am," answered Billy, "And I was told that on my birthday I could grow smaller and that I might be able to see the shops then.” -

"That is quite right," said the In Madam Butterfly's window were fairy."Just wait a minute and I will hats and bonnets of all colours, some

"I am sorry," said Billy. "But are you sure that it is spoilt?" And he picked up the box and looked inside But alas! the butterfly, hat was badly broken and bent on one side.

"I dare not go back to Madam Butterfly," the fairy taid, nearly cry ing. She will say that I was very careless.*

THE FAIRY SHOPS.

(Continued.)

(One day when Billy was sitting on the grass by a bank he heard a number of fairies talking and found out that there was a row of fairy shops on the bank. When he asked If he might see them a voice replied. that he must wait till his birthday.)

Je was Saturday and it was Bill's birthday

All the week he had been looking forward to it because he did an want to see the fairy shops, but when he care downstairs and fourd ever so many parcels he forgot everything else for a time.

"It is the Queen herself,” whisper ed Madam Butterfly's messenger to Billy and she bowed low before her. "Did I bear you say that there had been an accident?" asked the Queen, The fairy was too upset to reply so Billy answered for her.

"It was my fault, your Majesty She put down the hat boxes and was going to call Madam Butterfly to speak to me and one of the hats rolled down the hill and was spolít

The Queen also went into a fancy-

Billy spent some money in the sweet shop too, where there were honey drops and sugared slices of moonbeam.

"It is only on birthdays, that morials may come here," the Queen said to him, "So today you had better buy all that you want”

"I must find something for my mother and for Daddy too" said Billy and then the Queen took him to the draper's

After a good look all round he made up his mind to get some beautiful silk for a dress. A hundred silkworms had been hard at work and had just finished it and they kindly wrapped it up in a cocoon for him.

"I have only a little money left," Billy said, "So I will buy this white scarf for Daddy."

As they were coming out of the shop he unfortunately caught his foot in the root of a bush. He turned head over heels and fell down the bank into the gutter.

However he was not hurt but be found that he had dropped all his parcels except one and when he looked at that it turned out to be only a stonei
