When the Princess Escaped From the Book of Fairy Tales
Marion J. Edgar
IN a fantastic picture of an old book
of fairy tales lived a little golden
haired princess. As far back as she
could remember she had always been
landing on the balcony of her turreted
•astle grazing at the never changing
andseape. The little princess was fair
md beautiful as only fairy tale prin
cesses can be. Her dress was heav£
icith gold embroidery, a crested girdle
iung at her side and on ' her young
lead she proudly wore the pointed cap
•"YOU ARE THE FAIREST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS IN THE WORLD "
with its floating veil.
How weary she was of the lily in
her hand. How gladly would she have
<ast it from her to step out of her pic
ture and learn what was taking place
in the- vast world! For everything in
the book wearied her, the sun because
It always shone, the creeping roses be
cause they never ceased to bloom on
the turrets; and, above all, the velvet
coated young troubadour who, walk
ing in the shady alley of flowering
lindens, was ever coming to her — and
yet never came. " How dismal life
seemed! No wonder then that one night
when the soft, lengthening shadctws
enveloped the outside world and the
sun still obstinately shone on all the

pictures she thought of calling for
help.
Her cry of distress passed through a
hundred pages and rell on the ear of
an old witch who lived In a picture
near her own. Only here no sun shone
and instead the moon shed her f ale cold
light" on the snakes v and blinking frogs
which took; the place of the princess'
troubadour.^ The witch could,^there
fore, well comprehend the dullness, of
a monotonous existence, and once in
days gone by,- when she 'was young,
she, too, had ventured out of her story
book in search of adventures. Alas,
age was creeping on- her, und.it is said
that witches like to und<u:£*2£» the edu-
cation of .young princesses; soj losing
no time in trivial reflections/ the witch
set her pointed cap on her head. > and
wrapping herself in her cloak of dark
ness strode with her <:ioven foot across
a hundred printed pages to appear sud
denly, in the sunny garden of \u25a0 the little
princess. . s .
The air vibrated under the stroke of
her magic wand. av»d a gay burst of
laughter broke*- from the lips • of the
youthful chatelaine leaning over : her
balcony.- The little madcap flung far
from her the lily branch and flew to
her garden. But not indeed to. meet
her faithful troubadour who since time
Immemorial had been coming toward
her. With a graceful movement she

and, without * warning, sprang * heed

she • hear behind her the y old Switch's

king ' of -the ii Green mountains. Return:
t,o ' your balcony^ at' the cock's first crow
oryou will: repent bitterly.". > -
' "I iwiUireturn," murmured the little
princess, and. lightly, she -sprang from
her f book of faijy taies' into f eallty. v ;.
, Then she.'ihesfiated for an. instant to
cast- a trembling. glance about her. The
world was .crammed" with .books /and; of
a- terrifying: darkness. ;. But soon \u25a0 s,he
perceived. a table s on which 1 a miniature
sun shone under a • little 1 ; green . roof
and shed 'its 'light on' a' pale young
woman occupied in reading a letter.;
' The fugitive* princess was tod; inex
perienced to -know, that; she- was in a
library- where; in^a'. faraway -corner the
pale lady 'had for' old 'times'" sake' tol-^
crated the fairy tale book." rThe'prin

and a strange unknown pain pierced
her 'left side, and when the morning
broke and she returned to her olil

In vain the'sun threw its ardent rays
over' the! picture, in vain the radiant
roses bloomed unceasingly, in vain
the -sad velvet cloaked troubadour ap
proached her with his motionless stepj
Now she knew-it was alia fairy tale!
and a dumb hatred filled her heart for
him" who: was always '"coming to meet

"It is finished!- Never again, will I
escdpe from my fairy tale," sighed the
unhappy . princess. .At that moment I a

GRACIA KASSON AND
ERNEST TSCHANTRE JR.
They brought a rope and tied it to
-The frying pan so hot.
And made a grab to snatch the pan
Right there uponthe spot
Thsy pulled this way and pullsd that wayV
The fire was red and bright;
It scorched tfie peeling of the four
Potatoes— what a sight I
But when they pulled tt of! the stove— \u25a0 -
The night was cold and stfllT-
The fried potatoes in the pan
Ne'er moved as live things wilL
I' Oh my." the cook cried when she saw
The pan upon the floor ,
" The hoodoo man has stolen in^
I While I stepped through the door." -
He. Then the little chatelaine began
to tremble so that the ,'romantic castle
with i£s towers and turrets, its sunny
skies and shady trees, all shook and
trembled, fn unison with the fragile
little body. For one moment she
thought that all this fairy tale world
was crumbling away. i
'As if he had never known her th*
young man let his indifferent gaze fall
upon the poor forsaken princess, while
the* sad eyed lady drew from the book
her faithless lover's passionate letter*
with their, written promises of never
changing love.
But he, annoyed and impassible,
shrugged his shoulders and repeated
that he must leave and travel far
away. "Of course he would return
some day; was she not his only love?.
,"So he vowed ' to . me," thought the
little princess,^letting her sad eyes
rest on the~pale face of her old friend.
"What! Has she also come out of
her fairy tale? She. too. was deaf at
the cock's: crow! Poor .unhappy one!
Your heart, too, is being torn, since
it is not only the princesses in fairy
tales whose hearts are made of paper."
