A shriveled old woman in black an

Helen made her understand that they

Then a wonderful thing happened;
the wind rose and blew the glass
palace away The artificial flowers
went with it, and there they all stood
in the real garden with the sunlight
playing about their heads. and just in
front of them was the old Wierd
Wizard. He shook the Princess by
the hand and patted Tommy on his
red head.
This lad has broken the spell by
telling the TRUTH" laughed the Wizard.
"It is hard for princesses to hear that,
for every one will flatter them. That
is the reason the lords and dukes did
not succeed. But this honest boy saw
through the shams and spoke the
facts. That broke the spell I put OH
you. And now your father must keep
his word"
Somehow the Princess made no OBJ

silly, simpering mobiles, and thought
Tommy much better husband than
they would make So the wedding

flowers we're of wax and paper, the
lounfalns of perfume, and even the
people who attended her got so at
last that they liked nothing natural
Ihey painted and powered so and
wore hlgh-heeled shoes and adopted
such outrageous fashions that there
was nothing natural about them. And
though the Princess was really beau
tiful, she hid it in colored grease that
daubed her pretty face
When the Princess was 81 the King
was very anxious to have her released
from the spell. So he sent a procla,
nation over the country. saying that
anyone who could release the Prin-
cess from the spell could marry the
Princess and have half the kingdom

So Tommy was led out into the
great glass palace lighted by lamps
and brilliant with artificial life. He
was astonished and disgusted at the
sight. The dress of the ceurtiers
made him laugh. The Princess did
not like that, for she was accustomed
to raving lords bow and compliment,
so she peevishly asked Tommy what
he was laughing at
Why, madam he replied, .t'it is so
funny in here. The roses and yiolets

Outside the officious porter had
dragged their baggage off the cab, but
Warren gruffly ordered it put back.
Down the hill, through a quaint mar
