The queen said to the king,
"shall we try it, father, just this

So the queen turned to the prin-

The princess Rugged them both.
Meanwhile Baby Alice grew in

it.
Princess Ena directed the fairy
telescope toward Alice, then called
the other fairies to look, eXclaim-
ing: "See my foster child! She is
the happiest child alive with but

All the fairies took turns looking
through the telescope at Alice and
found that it was impossible to
praise her too highly.
So the fairies held another cOun-
Gil that lasted five minutes. They
decided once and for all that their
one gift should be THE PRINCESS
