Quest of the Golden Hose Brings Princess Happiness
First Prize)

He knew it would not be long be-
fore she could earn the golden hose.
After many weeks of hard work
Francesca decided to leave the kind
and humble people to go in search of
her golden hose. But when she told
the old woman about it she said, Nay,
nay, my child; the world is too large
and cruel for such an innocent child as
thou. Remain here and eat of our hum
BILE fare longer, and weep not for thy
golden hose"
So the maiden was contented with
the words.
Meanwhile the weaver tried to weave
pair of golden hose, but, alas! she
had no thread long enough. She called
Paola to her and said. Jump on thy
steed and be off to the golden-haired
giant and do not return until thou hast
secured three of his golden hairs
Now the youth had fallen in love
with beautiful Francesca and would
have gone through fire for her, so he
started on his journey.
When he came to the giants castle
he rang the bell, and the giants wife
came to admit him. But she said ne
must go in at the risk of his life, as
the giant was in a bad humor.
But Paola softened him by ofering
to tell him a story
The giant fell asleep while listening,
and Paola hastily jerked out three
hairs
"Ow-oo-ow- -ouchl" yelled the giant,
so that the very castle shook. who
has pulled my hair?"
Paola thrust the hairs into his boot
and then said:
"A mouse happened to run through
thy hair whilst thou slept"
"O-o-oh!" murmured the giant, and
fell asleep again.
Paola made a hasty departure and
was soon on his way home.
He delivered the hairs to his mother.
She wove them into hose for the prin-
cess, who thanked her and priced the
hose.
Then the princess told the old woman
and her family to go to the palace,
where she would not have to work.
They arrived and were greeted with
10y by the king and queen. They
feasted for seven days and seven
nights. at the end of which Francesca
and Paola were married. Then came
another feast for seven days and seven
nights, and every night the princess
danced in her golden shoon and nose.

In his little workshop In back of the

Everybody wondered what it could be

thing for the mother, whose birthday
was coming soon.
At last what all the others had come

and Paolo opened the door of his work.
shop. OF course all were anxious to
see what 'It" was and crowded in.
They looked all over the room, and,
seeing nothing new, looked up at
Paolo in amazement. The latter picked
up a small box, which the other had
overlooked, and handed 1T to Francesca.
She opened it with trembling hands,
and, much to her astonishment, found
the golden hose, for which she had
wandered away from home.
She hurried to her room and put on
: the golden hose and shoon, along with
the beautiful dress she had made.
Then with the good folks she started
homeward. Her fairy godmother guild
ed her and she soon reached the castle
of her father. She saw her mother
and called to her. The mother did
not recognize her daughter at first, but
the blue, sparkling eyes decided her.
Francesca told the story of her life
with these good people and was soon
married to Paola. Afterwards Paola
was known as the great and good
king who stood up for the rights of
the common people.

"Then come home with us, "
cried the little boys, gleefully.
"Our parents will make you right
welcome. They have long wished
for little maid to help with the
work and be one of us"
The Princess looked abashed
and said, sadly: "Alas! | know
not how to work"
"But you. can be taught how,
and you will see how happy it
will make you to be able to earn
your bread and butter. Come
along!'
So she went with them gladly
and was gladly received by the
old folk in the humble home Of
the weavers, for such was their
trade. Francesca learned to bake,
to brew and to spin the golden
flax. In her spare moments she
made herself a fine gown of the
linen and embroidered it with
fine needleWork.
She, was very happy in this
busy life. AS for the shoon, they
stood in a corner, and sometimes
she told their history to the kind
folks she made her home with.
Paolo, the older lad, when he
heard of the lack she had suffered
said nothing, but

and when they reached the castle her
parents hardly knew her.
They were very sorry she had sur
fered. When her parents died, Fran
cesca was queen and Paolo king.
The old weaver and his family came
to live at the castle. Thus fran
cesca's troubles end.

would come and ask your advice"
Then he told her the story and when
he had finished she said: "DoeS she
work well and is she happy? And
Paola answered: "She is happy and
she works with will. Then the fairy
godmother said to Paola: go home
and tell her to come to me as quickly
as she can
When Paola reached home he said
to Francesca. '"There is an old wo-
man that wishes to see you; don't be
frightened. but come"
She went to the house of the weaver.
where she found the fairy godmother,
and beside her were the golden Stock
ings which she had been weaving.
Then the fairy godmother said to
Francesca: you have learned to work
and spin, therefore I make you a pres
ent of these golden hose to match the
golden shoon.
'"Take these with you and put them
on, for they are magic and go back

Francesca was very happy, for she
had what she had always wished for.
Then going home she said. ST have

N HERE once lived fair
Princess Francesca, whose
eyes were like the sea-very
blue and sparkling when she was
glad, gray when she was sad and
green when she was angry. Now,
at her birth the little girl had
been given a pair Of golden shoes
or shoon, as they were called in
that day, by her Fairy God
mother, which would one day fit
her dainty feet, but which she
would not be able to wear until
she could find pair of golden
hose to match the shoon in bril-
liancy and splendor. Because the
hose could not be found, Frances
ca made everybody unhappy till
her Fairy Godmother put spell
on her. So Francesca wandered
away.
Now there chanced by that way
two lads, the one a little older
than Francesca, the other young
er. They carried bags of flax,
which they set down at seeing a
maiden in such distress, and
begged leave to comfort her.
"Art thou lost, little one? 70
asked the older boy, his eyes
looking down in sympathy upon
her bowed head.
"Nay," answered the girl; Il

(Honorable Mention)

Paolo went into a distant forest,
. which was said to be enchanted. AS
he entered he saw tiny worm "a
fairy) who said: IF Francesca prom
ises to give all the worms in TINS 1or-
est leaves and water for year we
will try to find pair of hose for her"
When Paolo told the story at home,
Francesca said she would do anything
to get her hose, so she went day after
day, very patiently and cared for the
worms. The last day not one was IN
sight. and she searched everywhere In
vain. At the end of the forest was
troupe of fairies in gauzy gowns, ana
the queen held a small box, which she
presented to Francesca, and then she
vanished.
The box contained the long wished
for hose. Francesca then thanked the
humble people for their Kindness to
her. and journeyed to her fathers
kingdom. where she had been mourned
as dead She told her father of the
good peoples treatment and he sent
Them large sum of money and some
food and clothing, so they could live
comfortably the rest of their days.

He said nothing. but knew Fran
cesca was not happy. because she
could not find the golden hose.
So he set out to search for them;
he knew that fairies sometimes lived
in trees, and thinking that a god
mother must be something like
fairy. might live in one to, so he went
to the woods and began searching
around and looking at all the trees
very closely.
At last, when he had nearly given
lip the search, he saw tiny key.
He turned it and a door few open.
He looked in and saw a little old
lady with a highSpeaked cap and
spectacles knitting very fast; she
looked up and said:
"Who are you, and what do you
want?"
II am trying to find a pair of gol-
den hose for the Princess Francesca"
he replied. do you know where l
could find her godmother?"
II am her godmother and l have
the golden hose, but / must see Fran
cesca before 1 can give them to her."
II will bring her to you, said
Paola.
He went home and told Francesca
about his adventures and what the
lady had said. she went with him
gladly, for she knew it was her god
mother
When they reached the tree Fran
cesca's godmother said, "If you will
go back to your father and mother
at the old castle and take care of
them in their old age 1 will give you
the golden hose"
Francesca was sorry to leave the
old weaver and his wife who had been
so kind to her, but now that the spell
was broken she wanted to see her
parents, so she started out alone. But
Paola thought it best to go with her,

To the Editor of The Robesonian: !
Some time ago the writer, in
company of some of Red Springs
best people, paid a visit of a few
days to theCapital of our country.
l state this fact not that it is
anything unusual for people liv-
ing hereabouts to visit Washing

size the fact that the writer had
lived so long without visiting
this Mecca of American civiliza-

during the war, but on consulta-
ton it was thought unadvisable,
under the circumstances at that
time, to make out our intended
visit. Some one writing about
a visit to Paris concluded his
description of it's monuments,
statues, paintings, etc., that the
most interesting thing he saw
was its cheap gloves; and so
think the most wonderful and
interesting object was the sight
of Joe Cannon in the Speaker
chair. 1t would be impossible il
