“To tell other little girls how to do the things you have just learned to do,” said the fairy.
“How perfectly delightful!” exclaimed Mary Frances. “I can get the girls to form a knitting club, can’t I?”
“Yes,” said the fairy, “get all your little friends to join, and make many of the pretty things that this paper explains about.”
“How I wish I could tell my mother about our lessons,” said Mary Frances.
“You may tell her. The Queen of Fairies sent word that you might do so if you asked when the paper was——”
Suddenly the fairy disappeared. The Knitting Twins fell down. Wooley Ball and the Yarn Baby fell over on their sides.
“Oh!” cried Mary Frances; then she looked around and saw her mother standing in the door.
“Oh, Mother dear, come in,” she cried. “The most wonderful thing has happened since you’ve been away!” And she told about the crocheting and knitting lessons, and the gifts from the Queen of All Fairies.
