"No," calmly replied Miss Lady Bug. "I have been everywhere that
fashionable folks go, and everybody is wearing furs, no matter how hot
the weather; and so I tell you again that the only one who is in style
is Miss Pussy Willow with her silvery fur."

Miss Pussy Willow did not let the flowers around her know that she
heard what Lady Bug had said, but she felt very happy and no longer did

She behaved in a modest manner and put on no airs, for did she not know
that she was dressed in the latest fashion?

Bunny White, one night when the Fairies were holding a revel, peeped

"Orianna lives near the Indians in a forest, and when you see a tall
tree with an opening at the bottom like the door of a wigwam you may be
sure that it is one of Orianna's homes.

"Did you notice her pretty costume?"

Bunny White told the Queen he had not had a very close view of Orianna,
so the Queen told him to run over to the Fairies and see the pretty
dress she wore.

Orianna wore the dress of an Indian girl, tiny moccasins on her little
