Still the sound fell upon tier ears and then a bright golden light flood ed no, not her own little room, but a beautiful garden of roses. "Patter, patter, patter." "Yes, it was after all the sound of many little feet she heard, for at that moment around a big cluster of rose bushes Mary saw hundreds of dainty little creatures running 'toward the steps of a castle with a wide open door. All the little fairies Mary knew they must be fairies, even though they were not in a book were laughing and singing as their feet went patter ing along the path. Up the steps they ran and Mary heard one fairy say ing: "We must make our own sun shine, sisters, it Is going to rain. But the roses need it to make them beau tiful." "Yes, and the grass and the leaves and all growing things," said another. "We will laugh and be happy and the sun will shine for us indoors while the rain is giving drink to Mother Nature's children outside." "Patter, patter, patter," went the feet of the little fairies, and Mary ran after them, meaning to go in the castle with them and see how they made their sunshine, for at that mo ment she felt the raindrops on her face. But Instead she saw standing by her chair the laughing face of her little Cousin Betty and the raindrops she felt were Betty's wet fingers. "Wake up," she was saying to Mary. "Oh, I had such fun running through the rain. I have come over to spend the day with you. I do love to play with dolls on a rainy day, don't you? Betty's smiling face looked so much like one of the little sunshine fairies she had seen In the rose garden that for a second Mary was not quite sure where she was. But it did not take long to find out and in a short time she had forgotten the rain outside and was laughing with her little cousin Just like the fairies in her dream. Mary was making her own sun shine just as we all can do If we only try hard enough. (, 19 23, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) "What's ma Name?"

Others believe that It really comes from the Teutonic Oda, which signi fied rich, or the old Suxon Ide, mean ing happy. In all events, Ada may be said to find happiness In riches which are exploited by ornaments. The first feminine form correspond ing to Ada was Audur, the name be stowed upon a beautiful viking, one of the first Icelandic settlers. Auda or Alda named the wife of Orlando, the Paladin. A queen of Italy in 020 was so called, and the name was still in use in 1393 by the feminine mem bers of the house of Este.
