ssible that it never could have hap-pened, it is much nicer than the probable andpossible. That is part of the charm of QueenZixi—it is all so crazily extravagant and impos-sible that it is delicious. There are all the goodold-fashioned ingredients of an ideal fairy-tale init: a brave prince, and a beautiful princess, a badfairy, and some good ones, and adventures thatmake the little reader wriggle with delight. Thereare unusual qualities, too: a dog that talks, andqueer folk who go around like balloons, and manyothers. Of course, all the bad people get pun-ished, and every one loves the beautiful princess;but this is just a part of what is one of the joiliestfairy stories ever written; all done by The Wiz-ard of Oz man. Perhaps never has a fairy-tale had such quaintand merry and attractive pictures as those ofFrederick Richardson; there are nearly one hun-dred of them, and they are printed in tint andcolor, so that the book is an unfailing delight. 15 S T.

Campers! Make a note of these facts: Ivory Soap floats. It ispure. It is the only soap that is equally available forbath, toilet and laundry use. For these reasons, it isespecially adapted to the needs of the man who spendshis vacation in the woods. Allow two cakes per man per week. In other words,.figure that eight cakes of Ivory Soap will keep two menandtheir belongings, clean for two weeks. Buy before you leave home. That is the safest way. Soap It Floats. 16 (The entire contents of this Magazine are covered by the general copyright, and articles must not be reprinted without special pen.. CONTENTS OF ST.
