"THE WISHING RING."
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.
