Two kings desire that their children marry, thereby combining the kingdoms. One is a prince, a little too young to consider marriage seriously, while the other is a sweet girl, who is not disposed to give up her toys and dolls just yet. The king of Joyland dispatches his son, the prince, with a letter, to the king of Youthland: "We desire the hand of the Princess Carita for our heir, Prince Donatella. We will consider this marriage as a treaty of peace between our kingdoms. Alverido, King of Joyland." In the meantime the king of Youthland has ordered that the princess shall marry, and to the queen's plea, "Let her stay a child a little longer," the king answers: "She shall he wed within the year." Consequently the arrival of the young prince at Youthland is agreeable to the king, and he at once dispatches the queen and the ladies in waiting to bring the princess before him. The princess is playing with her dolls attended by the nurse when the queen enters. Sending the nurse away she gently takes the doll from the child and exclaims, "Playtime is over Darling," so they proceed to dress her in court costume. She is then hurried into the throne room and presented to the prince, her husband to be. Timidly she recoils and at last rushes into her mother's arms. The prince in pity exclaims, "I cannot wed a frightened child. I will stay and he her playmate until her heart grows up." The queen pleads so the king consents, consequently they at once become playmates, indulging in games such as "Blindman's Buff," etc. The prince even goes so far as to join in her play with her dolls and toys, and throughout the following month the two are inseparable, but as the month has passed the prince despairs for he has learned to love her devotedly and exclaims, "Will nothing awake her?" How he succeeds is best told by the pictures.
