They lived in a vast forest surrounded on three sides by three savage tribes. The first was a tribe of mighty mid- gets, led by JACK THE GIANT KILLER VVIDENMANN. The second was a tribe of six-foot, seven-inch zeniths led by STANLEY GREEN. The third was a race ol' chocolate drops, outstanding among which were ROOSEVELT XVILLIAMS, GILBERT MORRIS, FRANK HUFF, FRANK JACKSON, and CHARLIE HERBERT. On the fourth side they were hedged in by a swirling causeway torrent patrolled by the four horsemen of the sea on their sea horses. These were renowned in the forest as BILL TITMUS, JACK BART- LETT, ELLSWORTH ELLIS, and HARRY HOSAKA. Through the years of the princesses' childhood they had to be content with the lonely life in their ancestral home. They spent the happy hours playing with their pet hairy bear CHARRY BAEHRD and doing their home- work. They knew little of their mother. LOUISE McCHRYSTAL, who the king believed had died in their childhood. Their 111B1UOl'y of her was kept fresh, however, by a beautiful portrait of the gem of Delaware Forest which hung in the library. This had been painted by that super artist, WRIGHT MELLEN. . Nne

One day the three princesses were dangling their toes in the treacherous causeway waters when one fell in, pulling the others in with her, and they were saved from drowning only by the appearance of three huge whales, named PAUL VON KEMPF, GEORGE JULIN, a11d STEVE ACERS. Holding fast to the whales' ears, they were carried down, down, down, to the floor of the causeway and into the door of a beautiful CMclcrysta1 palace. Here the whales set them CIOWII and disappeared. All at once through the many pass- ages a myriad of graceful merinaids came trooping in. They proceeded to dance about the princesses, who recognized in their midst VIVIAN KELSO, CORABEL HOOVER, JEANNE FISHER, SALLY HOLT, and JOAN LEVIN. Joan told them that in attempting to enter the forest they had been captured by the savage tribes and thrown into the to1'rent. They had been trans- ported by the mystic whales and had come here to live. Proceeding on a tour of the castle the princesses entered a huge ball room in which three lone couples were dancing Cno doubt enchantedb. They proceeded to l11lll'OdllCC themselves as DOROTHY ARANA and KARL PEDERSON, VVINNIE YOUNG and LOUIE MANTOANI, and RUTH CHAPEL and SALVATORE GUARINI. In the corner of the room the princesses could barely perceive VVOODY LEAHY playing his lyre, assisted by TOMOKO KASHIWAGI at the drums and XVALTER JOHNSON on the l13l'll'lOl'llCil. Leaving the room the princesses came upo11 the ancient wizard, STAN- LEY GRABOVVSKI, aided and abetted by FRANCIS FOPPIANO and HI- ROSHI ITO. Not realizing their identity, he told them a fantastic story of a beautiful queen of Delaware Forest, who was imprisoned under the castle. The princesses immediately recognized this to be their mother. Having nothing better to do, they decided to go in quest of her. They discovered the entrance to a secret passageway, and having disposed of the dragon guarding it, ARCHIE BROXVN, who demanded tickets. they entered. Proceeding into the slimy blackness, they encountered LORRAINE CIRIMELE, NAOYE MAYEDA, and NORMAN BYERS struggling to get out. Then they met BOB BROXVN, a kind giant who promised to take them to their mother. He led them safely to a brightly lighted hall with a purple balcony. This was thronged with spectators. Among them the girls recognized many courtiers of their palatial home. They were BARBARA HEADRICK, ESTHER INGLE- BRIGHT, CHARLOTTE KENNEDY, NOELLE RUEGG, FRED DAVIS, JAMES HANCOCK, EUGENE RUEGG, and ANDREVV SOLARI. As tl1ey stood astonished, a door opened and a stately procession entered. At the head they recognized their mother. She was followed by her two ladies-in-wait- ing, ELISE HART and MARGARET HOLMGREN. At the rear of the pro- cession came three handsome princes, CHARLES MCFARLAND, HOVVARD WILLIAMS, and TOM PRICE. They were marshalled by two guards. EMMETT O'NEILL and JOHN SILVA. The princesses 1'ushed to their mother, and the p1'inces, inspired by the endearing scene, sprang on the guards, overcame them, and escorted the queen and the princesses back to their home. XVithin a short time they had conquered all the savage tribes, and they all lived happily ever after. G11
