This Prince ( Garnet ) is in- terviewed by Fairy Pearl in disguise , and for his kinrness to her , she tells him the story and asks his help , which of course he prom- ises to give . He explains the matter to his parents ( King and Queen Pippin ) and they re- solve to go with him to rescue the Princess , and if possible , restore her to life . After explaining in a bustling chorus their intention to go by aeroplane to the rescue they in due time arrive at the Court of Queen Ruella . The Prince takes the fan out of Crystal's hand and , by breaking it , restores her to life and the rest of the Court follow suit . The inevit- able ending is the betrothal of the young Prince and Crystal . So much for the story .

The Chairman said the fact that they had . not had a single case of drunkenness before them during the year was a fact on which they could congratulate all the license holders of the division . He believed that this con- stituted almost a record , and while one could not help feeling that the war had had a very sobering effect on the nation he felt that very great credit was due to the license holders Many thanks are due to Mrs. Tidd - Pratt and of the division for the very able and honour- Miss K. Pemberton for their kind help in able way in which they had conducted their collecting and conveying the gifts to the Hos business . He hoped the eatisfactory state of pital . things would continue during the year .
