From 'tlu spring of the ilrst tiny s lowdrops, Till '. utumn's last cornflower fades, Through tho summer of dalsos ami popples, While oft danco tho nymphs In the glades, In winter whan only tho roast the gflndness ot flowerland bring In 6vpry season of beauty, romombor tpc Wishing Ring, If you think of young knights and fair ladles, Or th follies jf youth you would note When tlio dream ot socloty damsols Or wbnien who seek tho vote Of story-book land and Its people, Of gaidners who rnko while they slug Or tlio two disobedient children? Remember "The Wishing Ring.'' 'Tho little rhymo In tho load, which brlngg in so cleverly tho various groups that make up the singing and dancing choruses In "Tho Wishing Ring," was written by a member of tho General Federation of Wbnion's Clubs, "The Wishing Ring" ns every body knows is the musical cxtravn ' ganzn which Miss Fnrrlngton of tho J John ,11. Rogers Producing Co., is to produce hero under tho auspices of ' tho Camp-fire Girls. There arc ninny, many charming features in "Tho Wishing Ring", perhaps none bolng I lnqro so than tho court scenes in which girls about twelve years of ago ' will dance the minuet In costume. Tho fascinating old stops done by daintly sweet maids will bo lovoly Indeed when ono learns that this Is only a pretty Incident in a long sorles of such. It looks vory much ns though tho Campfl.ro Girls wore arranging an evening for its patrons that will be distinctly novel and alluring.
