The next place in Once Upon-a. Time
Land that Mister Mugs took the
Twins in his magic automobile was
to see Snow White.
The prince had built her a glass
castle and there they had lived hap
pily ever after-just as the story
said.
They crossed seven islands and a
little fairy ferryman took them across
seven lakes, and there stood Snow
Whites castle.
Glad to see them! Why, she near
ly fell out of her window with JOY
when she saw them coming, for
ever since her wicked stepmother had
died the prince had been very, very
particular about strangers coming 70
the castle, and Snow White was get.
ting lonely, as the prince was out
hunting so much.
She ran downstairs and let them IN
herself before the servant could sag
that nobody was at home to callers
sHow do you do?" she said in q
silyery voice, kissing everybody, ever
ugly little Mister Mugs, who had tc
hold onto a chair he was so surprised
We're all very well, thank you,
said Nick, land we came to see II

"Ob, thank you !" cried Snow White
p.There is Just one thingl I would
like to know if my seven dwarfs ar
well. They live in yonder mountains
and they work hard all day. 1 an

Mister Mugs. Because my magic
automobile vii take you there In a
jiffy, if you do
81 don't know what o jiffy IS"
laughed Snew White. But if it isn't
too long, I'll go. The prince wont
be home for three days and I'm sure
he will think it's all right for me to
90 when I'm in such safe company"
SO all four of them got into the
tiny car and away it started for the
blue mountains in The distance.
By and by they came to the house
where the dwarfs lived.
They knocked on the door, but as
nobody came, they pushed it open and
stepped in.
"Why, it looks exactly the same y
cried Snow White. Then she stopped
suddenly. for there on the table were
the UNIV washed breakfast dishes, the
bedroom was all in disorder and the
seven little beds were completely topsy-
turvy. The clothes that hung on the
pegs needed mending and all the floors
needed a good scrubbing.
"Let's get to work and fix it up
for them cried Nancy.
"a fine idea y declared Mister
Mugs. ut is only 10 o'clock and we
have all day"
And when the dwarfs came back
the little house looked as though
fairies had been at it-as indeed they
had. But the visitors had gone. fol-
the dwarfs were shy and afraid Of
company.
I'm coming every week and lool
after them,' said Snow White. I'm
sure the prince won't mind"
