TWO FAIRY SPONGES 39 
These two fairy 
sponges are familiar 
to us all, at least to 
those of us who dwell for 
even a small part of the 
year in the country, and 
use our eyes. Indeed, 
we need go no farther 
than our city parks, or 
even our " back - yard " 
gardens, to find at least 
one of them, for the 
sweetbrier is rarely neg- 
lected by this 
particular fairy. 
So many spec- 
imens of both of 
these sponges 
have been sent to 
me by " Round 
Table" corre- 
spondents and 
^^IKr/ X > others that I 
^/ X , s '- ( \ have begun to 
. / ' ' ifc^ wonder how 
I ^^"^ many of those 
other young 
people who have seen them and kept silence have 
wondered at their secret.
