On grandcnama’s table Is waiting for me A plate with ginger bread piled; Bread and milk, and berries and cream, And the mug marked—“ For a good child.” And I eat my supper and wonder where That wonderful land may be, Where the sky is white and the earth is blue, That on my plate I see. "Grandma, you know ‘’most everything—- Tell me the story of it all; Do the long-tailed birds know how to sing; Did a princess live i n that castle small? The princess’ hair in a fairy tale Is generally gold, but this is blue! How does the boat go without any sail? Tell me the story, grandma, do.” So she tells the legend, centuries old, Of the Mandarin, tlch' in land and gold; Of Lt-Chi fair and Chang the good, Who loved each other as lovers should. How they hid In the gardener's hut awhile, Then flew away to the beautiful isle; Though the cruel father pursued them there, And would have killed the hapless pair, But a kindly power by pity stirred. Changed each Into a beautful bird, Grandmama puts her spectacles on. And shows me on the plate The Mandarin’s house, the island home, The boat, the bridge, the gate; “Here Is the orange tree where they talked— Here they are running away— And over all, at the top to see The birds making love alway.” And the little figures seem to live— Strange fancies fill my head. Till grandmama tells me, much too soon. It’s time to go to bed. But I dream of a land all blue and white, I see the lovers take their flight; Over the arching bridge they *go— One of the lover birds flies below. From the little house with the turned up edges Come tiny lords and ladies and pages; And the bed-pcst turns to a willow tree, And at last I seem myself to be An azure lassie wandering through That beautiful queer little land of blue. —Ludovick LARGE DROIDS SHOPPING EARLY Stores Crowded With Au gusta and Out-of-Town Customers. Large Sales. If shopping has been good for the two previous weeks, It hag been extraordin arily good for this week and particularly so for the last three days. Every train coming into the city brings a large of out-es-town shoppers, while Augustans also are shopping heavily, and the usual Christmas rush promises to be avoided. Saturday the crowds in the stores on Broadway were the largest that hav* been in the stores in som* years, in fact it was rather a hard matter to walk around in many of the stores. The counters were lined with shoppers, and there was a steady crowd going in and out of the stores from early Saturday morning until closing up time. It has been necessary for the merchants to em ploy the extra Christmas help much ear lier this year than last year, and with few exceptions there are more clerks em ployed In the various stores at present than were employed last year only a very few days before Christmas. The merchants with no exceptions re port large sales, which they attribute to people realising the advantages of | shopping early, and to ths largo amount ! of cotton that has be«n sold by Caro lina and Georgia merchant* at thg phenomenally high prices.
