DID you ever see the Fairies in the Looking-glass?
I know of a little girl who saw them and I will tell you how it happened.
Nettie was a pretty good little girl, bur she had a very unpleasant habit of frowning and fretting if everything did not please her, and this was so often and she frowned so much that she was beginning to have two wrinkles between her eye-brows. Now when she looked into the glass with a scowl on her face it made the fairies very unhappy, and they were sorry for her, so they thought, they would try to cure her of her fault. The fairies are able to make themselves large or small, and to look like any one they choose. One fairy said to the others, "I think I have a good plan, one that will cure Nettie of her ill-temper; it is this: whenever Nettie looks into the glass with a cross face, I shall show her my face and I will look exactly as she does, only I will smile instead of frowning, then she cannot help seeing how much more agreeable she is when she is pleasant, and I think in a short time she will be a sweet, amiable little girl."
