The Hungry Tiger of Oz
Well, My Dears: Here I am again to say, How do you do and how do you doit? How do you manage to write such jolly letters about Oz? Fromevery state and Canada they have come pouring in to make me happy and,as Ozma remarked to the Scarecrow, when I showed them all to her, "Whywe have as many loyal subjects outside of Oz as we have here in thecountry."
"So we have!" chuckled the Scarecrow, "and more patriozic, too. Threecheers for the boys and girls! I wish we could invite them all to theEmerald City."
I wish so, too, but I am afraid if we all did march upon the capitolof Oz we would crowd out the celebrities. But it is nice to beinvited. And what do you s'pose has been happening there now? "Anotherwar?" you ask. Well, not exactly, but the most surprising lot ofadventures in which Betsy Bobbin and the Hungry Tiger have the mostexciting parts.
There is a new Prince in this story. He is shaking hands with Betsy,right at the top of this page and I am leaning 'way out of this letterto shake hands with you!
