VOL I. CINDERELLA

CINDERELLA DRESSING HER SISTER'S HAIR.

CINDERELLA'S ARRIVAL AT THE PALACE IN HER ELEGANT GILT CARRIAGE, WHICH ATTRACTS GENERAL NOTICE AS IT DRIVES UP TO THE MARBLE PORTICO; OF WHICH INFORMATION IS COMMUNICATED TO THE PRINCE, WHO HASTENS TO THE DOOR AND WELCOMES CINDERELLA, HANDS HER OUT OF THE CARRIAGE, AND GRACEFULLY LEADS HER INTO THE PALACE, WHERE THE NOBLES WELCOME HER AS A PRINCESS.

CINDERELLA IS PRESENTED BY THE PRINCE TO THE KING AND QUEEN, WHO WELCOME HER WITH THE HONORS DUE TO A GREAT PRINCESS, AND IS THEN LED INTO THE ROYAL BALL-ROOM.

CINDERELLA DANCING WITH THE PRINCE IS ADMIRED FOR HER GRACEFULNESS. THE CLOCK STRIKES TWELVE: SHE HAVING FORGOT HER GOD-MOTHER'S INSTRUCTIONS, IS ALARMED, FLIES OUT OF THE BALL-ROOM--HER GORGEOUS APPAREL IS CHANGED INTO THE DRESS OF A CINDER-WENCH, AND HER SPLENDID EQUIPAGE INTO A PUMPKIN, RATS, MICE AND LIZARDS.

CINDERELLA RETURNED SHABBILY DRESSED.

THE HERALDS OF THE COURT ANNOUNCE THE PROCLAMATION THAT THE PRINCE WOULD MARRY THE LADY WHOM THE GLASS SLIPPER FITTED. CINDERELLA TRIES ON THE SLIPPER, WHICH FITS HER DELICATE FOOT, TO THE GREAT ASTONISHMENT OF HER FAMILY.

MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCE AND CINDERELLA.
