THE STORY SO FAR: Eric, the son of Lightning, is tak- ing the King of Westphalia, Elsa, and Leezen, the doll, back to Santa Toyshop. The Fairy Queen has told Eric and Leezen they must find a proper queen for Westphalia. Chapter 17 The Five Princesses ‘; RIC lay awake long after | all the Toyshop had dropped off to happy dreams. “How,” worried Eric, “am I to tell who would be the right queen for the King. Maybe the | Queen of Fairies will tell me.” So he ran out of the Toyshop and blew a trill on his flute. In a twinkling the little Queen was standing on his shoulder. He | asked his question. |~ She said, “Bring all the neigh- boring princesses here. Watch them and you will see. One will be the kindest. That will be the one.” | “But all the princesses are gracious,” said Eric. “Wait and see,” said the Queen and she was gone. So_Eric piped up a flock of woods fairies. “Go spread the news,” he said. “That the King of Westphalia wishes a queen and bring every one back by high noon.” The fairies fluttered off and Eric went back to sleep. Break- fast was merry. Santa sat nex to Elsa, and Mrs. Santa poure hot chocolate for everyone. The King of Westphalia asked Eric what the day would bring there. So Eric laughed mischievously down at Santa and said, “Sire, you will have a busy day. The news has gone out that you have a famous guest, and there will be visitors. Five or six prin- cesses will be here with their courts by noon.” A Brave Company “Gracious!” said Mrs. Santa. “We must rush and bake. In a second the Toyshop was in a bustle. Gnomes were sweeping off the walks, Fairies were hanging Christmas wreathes.

The first to arrive wore a golden dress. She curtsied to Santa and said, “We have been invited here. And we have ridden all night.” " Erie watched, leaning against a window frame, standing next to the chair in which Leezen sat. He smiled quietly and watched the King of %Vestphalia who was bow- ing courteously to the company. He obviously didn't know the party was for him. The whole group banqueted richly.
