_Tulips._
Group the children so that they look pretty. They could wear green
clothes to represent stalk and leaves, and have large, colored-paper
petals fastened to their waists, and with wire shaped and bent upward
they would look like veritable tulips. Then a few others could, in a
previous tableau, show the act of planting tulip bulbs and watering
some growing tulips.
_The Cotillon._
Eight girls and boys should be dressed in Knickerbocker attire, and
stand as if ready for the first figure of the Cotillon.
This tableau should be set in a drawing-room.
_Flitting Fairies and Butterflies._
Gay music is heard and in come the fairies dancing, followed by a train
of dancing butterflies, costumed in red, yellow, and white.
The wings may be of tinted crêpe paper or tarletan held in place by
stiff wire.
The fairies should wear short fluffy gowns of airy gossamer, heavily
covered with spangles and diamond dust. With each movement they must
glimmer and glisten.
The scene may be set in any pretty drawing room, but more properly with
a background of palms and potted plants.
