Description

Excerpt: "It was a beautiful evening in the forest, and under the moonlight there was a great gathering of friends.

Mr. and Mrs. Elephant, and the Kangaroos, the Foxes, and the handsome Leopards, even sprightly little Miss Lynx, and a number of the aristocratic jungle Deer were seated, all in a great circle, around the pleasant pool which shone in the moonlight, and displayed the loveliest of lilies afloat upon its surface. "Then, it is decided," said the venerable Mr. Tapir. "We are, my friends, going to contest for a dancing prize.

It is felt that such an entertainment will relieve the rather tedious monotony of our evenings in this lovely spot. "One week from to-night there will be the finest party we have ever given.

No expense is to be spared. Music will be supplied by the celebrated company of Baboons and Macaws; and the ladies will adjourn, forthwith, as a committee on refreshments." Mr. Tapir went on at great length, for all the animals loved to hear him talk, and he loved to hear himself.

He had been to London. He knew how things ought to be done. So he said it all over several times, but he always ended with, "and the ladies will adjourn forthwith," which beautiful words struck the animals as the finest they had ever heard."
