Dorothy only played with these crea-
lures for a little while, however, and
then she went to the Land of Lost,
where she was directed to find her lost
goat, pet" There was a wonderful
Prince, Goodwill, who ruled this great
country, where all the lost things CO.
There was a rag doll house and when
Dorothy came in sight of it the lost
rag dolls were. having a procession, and
as they marched they sang this song:
We're the happest beings of all this land,
For plain Rag Dolls we
We're lost from the reach of childish hand,
But we're found again, you see.
The ragpicker came with his dusty sack,
And he steathily peered through the wood
shed crack;
Then he opened the door and he opened the
pack,
And here-are we-you see.
And here-are we-you see.
Oh were-stuffed anew.
And sewed quite true
And our dress is fresh with paint.
We given life,
And pleasures rife,
So we never make complaint.
We dance about
With merry shout
And a laugh ON every hand
And as sing
Our voices ring
or the marvellous Rag Doll Land,
OF the marvellous Rag Doll Land.

In this procession Dorothy discovered
one of her long lost rag dolls, and dur
ing her travels through the Land of
Lost she found many other toys which
had disappeared from her view. Her
experiences are wonderful and quite
as amusing to the reader as were those
of Alice in Wonderland although they
are not at all similar.
The pictures with which the book is
illustrated are delightful and one of
them appears on the front page of this
magazine today, while our front page
picture two weeks ago was from the
same book.
