The king lifted up his thin slender hand and there came a silence over the vast crowd immediately as he pronounced the vows which made the young prince king.
My people he said, I am tired; I want to rest; it is time for me to go and I do not think I shall come back any more. He drew a little bundle out of his breast pocket. Then, so suddenly that even those nearest to his Majesty could not tell how, the king was away—floating right up in the air—upon something they knew not what. Whither he went or who went with him it is impossible to say, but I myself believe that his godmother took him on his traveling cloak to the Beautiful Mountains.
CHARACTER BOOK
Arranged by
JOSEPHINE L. ADAMS
This book is prepared for and dedicated to "the girls." It is for their girl friends to write in, being left with many inviting blank spaces for the answer to interesting questions about their favorite people, songs, amusements, plays, books and other things one naturally wants to know about. The sum total of all these queries not only furnishes lots of fun at the time of writing, but also gives a good character study of the writer and a souvenir of one's friends, which every girl will be glad to treasure.
It is said that life is made up of little things. Certainly, as we look back, these trifles often seem of most interest and value to us. And it is in order to preserve some of these stray bits of gold dust that this CHARACTER BOOK has been prepared—at the suggestion of one clever girl.
