PRINCESS ORCHID'S PARTY
She smiled at him very graciously when he was introduced to her.


THE CLOUD THAT HAD NO LINING
And because the silver of the moonshine-fairies is very light he was able to carry a great deal of it.


THE FAIRIES WHO CHANGED PLACE
Drop-of-Crystal was to busy to speak

Of course the dear Princess.... wore the great opal on the day she was married.


THE BIG SPIDER'S DIAMONDS
The web and the diamonds and the big spider himself all fell to the ground
