I

am

Miss

Cuttenclip

,

"

was

the

reply

.

"

Won

’

t

you

come

in

?

"

She

held

the

door

open

while

they

all

entered

a

pretty

sitting

-

room

that

was

littered

with

all

sorts

of

paper

-

-

some

stiff

,

some

thin

,

and

some

tissue

.

The

sheets

and

scraps

were

of

all

colors

.

Upon

a

table

were

paints

and

brushes

,

while

several

pair

of

scissors

,

of

different

sizes

,

were

lying

about

.

Sit

down

,

please

,

"

said

Miss

Cuttenclip

,

clearing

the

paper

scraps

off

some

of

the

chairs

.

"

It

is

so

long

since

I

have

had

any

visitors

that

I

am

not

properly

prepared

to

receive

them

.

But

I

’

m

sure

you

will

pardon

my

untidy

room

,

for

this

is

my

workshop

.

"

"

Do

you

make

all

the

paper

dolls

?

"

inquired

Dorothy

.

"

Yes

;

I

cut

them

out

with

my

scissors

,

and

paint

the

faces

and

some

of

the

costumes

.

It

is

very

pleasant

work

,

and

I

am

happy

making

my

paper

village

grow

.

"

"

But

how

do

the

paper

dolls

happen

to

be

alive

?

"

asked

Aunt

Em

.

The

first

dolls

I

made

were

not

alive

,

"

said

Miss

Cuttenclip

.

"

I

used

to

live

near

the

castle

of

a

great

Sorceress

named

Glinda

the

Good

,

and

she

saw

my

dolls

and

said

they

were

very

pretty

.

I

told

her

I

thought

I

would

like

them

better

if

they

were

alive

,

and

the

next

day

the

Sorceress

brought

me

a

lot

of

magic

paper

.

’

This

is

live

paper

,

’

she

said

,

’

and

all

the

dolls

you

cut

out

of

it

will

be

alive

,

and

able

to

think

and

to

talk

.

When

you

have

used

it

all

up

,

come

to

me

and

I

will

give

you

more

.

’

"

Of

course

I

was

delighted

with

this

present

,

"

continued

Miss

Cuttenclip

,

"

and

at

once

set

to

work

and

made

several

paper

dolls

,

which

,

as

soon

as

they

were

cut

out

,

began

to

walk

around

and

talk

to

me

.

But

they

were

so

thin

that

I

found

that

any

breeze

would

blow

them

over

and

scatter

them

dreadfully

;

so

Glinda

found

this

lonely

place

for

me

,

where

few

people

ever

come

.

She

built

the

wall

to

keep

any

wind

from

blowing

away

my

people

,

and

told

me

I

could

build

a

paper

village

here

and

be

its

Queen

.

That

is

why

I

came

here

and

settled

down

to

work

and

started

the

village

you

now

see

.

It

was

many

years

ago

that

I

built

the

first

houses

,

and

I

’

ve

kept

pretty

busy

and

made

my

village

grow

finely

;

and

I

need

not

tell

you

that

I

am

very

happy

in

my

work

.
