Patsy's mother called.
 "Oh please do let me play a U little bit longer" Patsy begged, for she was pasting the loveliest set of furniture in her paper doll book.
 Well, just for a little while" her mother agreed.
 When all the furniture had been put into the new living room, Patsy turned the page and began to make the garden. First she pasted in a window. Then she carefully cut out of magazine the picture of a rose bush.
 "A sample of the beautiful roses that grow on the grounds of an old English castle" she read under the picture.
 An old English castle -" Patsy murmured sleepily while her head nodded.
 Suddenly the most surprising thing happened. A tiny little voice began to call from the paper doll house.
 Please, please find the Prince,' it 4 begged.
 s@@Patsy was very much excited She was sure that the voice had come from the new living room. But when she
 
 she couldn't lift 1t. Instead of paper the page was made of stone.
 "You'l1 have to look through the window" said the tiny voice.
 Patsy put her face up close and found that she could peek through the garden window very nicely. But what do you suppose she saw?-Instead of the living room she had made was l. +l~ v-1I I There were mirrors all around the walls, and in the center of the room was table with dinner of rose pet als spread out on it. In one corner stood a tiny bed with pink curtains. Then Patsy saw something better than all the rest. In little chair filled with lovely rose silk pillows sat the most beautiful princess she had ever seen. Patsy really never had seen one before, but she was sure that no other could be so beautiful. This little princess had the most won derful golden hair about three inches long, which was really a very good length, for you see she was only five inches high herself. Her eyes were big but they were so full of tears that Patsy couldn't be sure about the color. Please, please find the Prince" begged the little Princess.
 'Is he in my paper doll book?" Patsy asked, very much puzzled.
 "Of course,'' said the Princess. "But you'll have very hard time finding him. You'll have to look through the back of the book" she continued, flor my castle is sealed up so tightly that no one but the Prince can open itn
 t'I'll try hard to find him." Patsy promised It seemed silly that any one should be worried over finding a prince in a paper doll book.
 "I'l1 look on every page" she told the Princess.
 That's the very best way,' the Princess agreed. "But if you have any trouble stop and see the Picture Puzzle and tell him you're helping the Paper Doll Princess. He'll be sure to give you advice.
 Patsy said she would remember.
 The first few pages turned very easily but there was no sign of the Prince. Then Patsy found that she couldn't budge the next page, it was so heavy.
 "Oh dear, wonder where the Pic ture Puzzle lfves," she said, remem- bering what the Princess had told her.
 '-Turn me around. start from the center and find the corner" said a voice.
 Patsy turned the book around and looked on all the corners of the page Sure enough, there at the top sat the queerest little man imaginable. He looked like a jig-saw puzzle.
 Now I'll come down and talk to you," he announced. turning son. ersault out of the corner.
 '~The Paper Doll Princess sent me- Patsy began.
 Well, I am certainly. glad to see you" declared the Picture Puzzle cor dially.
 Thank you" Patsy replied. "You see," she went on to explain, "the Princess is trying to find the Prince who is to come and open the door of her castle"
 well, well," said the Picture Puz- gle. "I have known for a long time that she wanted something, but I've never been able before to solve the problem"
 She said you would help" Patsy suggested.
