beautiful castle. Before the gates
were three young girls. dressed in
handsome red uniforms trimmed with
gold braid: and as Dorothy approached
one OF them said to her:
why have you come to the South

She threw her arms around the

his big head tenderly. Then she kissed
the Tin Woodman. who was weeping
in a way most dangerous to his joints.
But she hugged the soft. stuffed body
OF the Scarecrow in her arms instead
OF kissing his painted face. and found
she was crying herself at this sorrow

Glinda the Good stepped down from
her ruby throne to give the little girl
a good.by kiss. and Dorothy thanked
her for all the kindness she had shown
to her friends and herself.
