Excerpt from book: CHAPTER IV A PERFECTLY GOOD CHAPERON IT was nearly six o’clock when Patty reached ‘ Red Chimneys.’ She carried a bandbox, and Miller, who followed her, carried a large suitcase, and various other parcels. Mona met them at the door, and, directing that the luggage be sent to Patty’s rooms, she carried her visitor off to her own boudoir. ‘ Patty,’ she began, ‘ I can’t let you carry out that ridiculous scheme ! I’m going to telephone to the young people not to come.’ ‘ Haven’t telephoned yet, have you ? ‘ enquired Patty, carelessly, as she flung herself into an easy chair, and made vigorous use of a large ‘fan. ‘ No; I waited to tell you. But I’m going to begin now,’ and Mona lifted a telephone receiver from its hook. ‘ Oh, I wouldn’t,’ said Patty, smiling at her hostess. ‘ You see, I’ve set my heart on having this party, and I’d hate to have you upset it” But, Patty, consider how ‘ ‘ Consider, cow consider! Well, my fair lady, I have considered, and I must request you to hang up that telephone, and trust all to me.’ When Patty adopted this tone, playful but decided, Mona knew she could do nothing with her. So she hung up the receiver, but she still showed a troubled expression as she looked questioningly at pretty Patty. But that provoking young person only smiled at her, and slowly waved her big fan. ‘ Awfully warm, even yet, isn’t it? ‘ she said. ‘ What time is dinner, Mona ? I’ve a lot to do before that party of yours comes off.’ ‘ I ordered dinner early, so we’d have time to dress afterward. Come, Patty, I’ll show you your rooms.’ The two girls rose, and standing in front of Mona, Patty began to smooth the lines from the other’s brow, with her own finger tips. ‘There there,’ she said; ‘don’t worry. Trust all to Smarty Patty! She’ll do t…

Marjorie’s Vacation

In the Maynards’ side yard at Rockwell, a swingful of children was slowly swaying back and forth. The swing was one of those big double wooden affairs that hold four people, so the Maynards just filled it comfortably. It was a lovely soft summer day in the very beginning of June; the kind of day that makes anybody feel happy but a little bit subdued. The kind of day when the sky is so blue, and the air so clear, that everything seems dreamy and quiet. But the Maynard children were little, if any, affected by the atmosphere, and though they did seem a trifle subdued, it was a most unusual state of things, and was brought about by reasons far more definite than sky or atmosphere. Kingdon Maynard, the oldest of the four, and the only boy, was fourteen. These facts had long ago fixed his position as autocrat, dictator, and final court of appeal. Whatever King said, was law to the three girls, but as the boy was really a mild mannered tyrant, no trouble ensued. Of late, though, he had begun to show a slight inclination to go off on expeditions with other boys, in which girls were not included. But this was accepted by his sisters as a natural course of events, for of course, if King did it, it must be all right.

Vicky Van

Victoria Van Allen was the name she signed to her letters and to her cheques, but Vicky Van, as her friends called her, was signed all over her captivating personality, from the top of her dainty, tossing head to the tips of her dainty, dancing feet. I liked her from the first, and if her ‘small and earlies’ were said to be so called because they were timed by the small and early numerals on the clock dial, and if her ‘little’ bridge games kept in active circulation a goodly share of our country’s legal tender, those things are not crimes. I lived in one of the polite sections of New York City, up among the East Sixties, and at the insistence of my sister and aunt, who lived with me, our home was near enough the great boulevard to be designated by that enviable phrase, ‘Just off Fifth Avenue.’ We were on the north side of the street, and, nearer to the Avenue, on the south side, was the home of Vicky Van. Before I knew the girl, I saw her a few times, at long intervals, on the steps of her house, or entering her little car, and half consciously I noted her charm and her evident zest of life.

I saw an exhibition once, you were a little girl then; I remember you flew into such a rage because you couldn’t go. Well, where was I? Let me see oh, yes ‘Hanlon ‘ H’m h’m why, my goodness! it’s to morrow! How I do want to go! Do you suppose Sanford would take us?’

CHAPTER IAlii their own!’ Oh, two rooms 1′ ‘ Oh, a fireplace ! ‘ ‘Oh, a window seat!’ ‘ Two window scats I’These exclamations fell swiftly and explosively from the lips of Dotty Rose and Dolly Fayre, as they leaned over the table at which Mr. Rose was drawing plans. And such plans! And for such a purpose! Why, the whole project was nothing more nor less than a house, a real little house for those two fortunate girls! All their own, with fireplaces and window seats and goodness knows what all delightful contrivances. It had come about because of the fact that the girls had to study pretty hard, now that they were in High School, and both found difficulty in finding just the right place to study. Dolly declared that Trudy was always having company, and the laughter and chatter was so permeating, she couldn’t find a place in the house to get out of hearing the noise. 1Table of Contents CONTENTS; chapter; I All Their Own; II A Joke at School; III An Afternoon Call; IV The High School Dance V Treasure House; VI Such a Luncheon !; VII Funny Uncle Jim; VIII A Strange Intruder; IX Fairies and Such ; X Fortunes for All ; XI The Fire Spirit ; XII Mad and Measles ; XIII The Feast That Failed; XIV News Indeed !

Excerpt from book: THE LATEST FAD NANNETTE is just the dearest girl; To her I vow my love and duty; From slipper tip to shining curl She ‘s my ideal of dainty beauty. She’s all a fiancee should be, No words are fond enough to praise her; But life has lost its charm for me Since Nan became a crystal gazer. The passing fad of each new day Has caught her somewhat fickle fancy; It nearly took my breath away When she went in for Chiromancy. She studied Psychical Research, And Hypnotism did n’t faze her; She even joined the Buddhist church; But now she is a crystal gazer. Some of her fads I rather liked, Her cult of Ibsen, or of Browning, Her swagger costume when she biked, Her Dress Reform and Delsarte gowning; THE LATEST FAD I liked it when she tried to cook Crabs a la Newburg in her blazer; But life takes on a different look Since Nan became a crystal gazer. Her fervid gaze she concentrates, That crystal ball her constant focus; She ardently invokes the Fates And all their mystic hocus pocus, With muscles tense, and head erect, Until the gleaming crystal sways her I ‘ve known it to have that effect, Though I am not a crystal gazer. Of course I know it’s but a freak, The very latest London notion; She may forget it in a week And find some other new devotion. But with my heart too long she’s played, I wonder if it would amaze her If I should woo another maid While Nan remains a crystal gazer. THE POSTER GIRL’S DEFENCE TT was an Artless Poster Girl pinned up against my wall, She was tremendous ugly, she was exceeding tall; I was gazing at her idly, and I think I must have slept, For that poster maiden lifted up her poster voice, and wept. She said between her poster sobs, ‘ I think it’s rather rough T…

The Technique of the Mystery Story

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www. million books. com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III THE HISTORY OF MYSTERY To trace the origin and history of the mystery story is simply to trace the origin and history of man’s mind. Mystery stories were told and wonder tales invented before the days of old Rameses, before the Sphinx was hewn or Samson born. And indeed the rousing of latent curiosity, the tempting with a promise to divulge, which is the vital principle of the mystery story, began no later than with the subtlety of the Primal Serpent. There is no country which has not its quota of traditional and folk lore tales, founded almost invariably on some element of mystery, surprise or suspense. And why? Because the interest of the eternal audience is ‘gripped’ by a desire to know the unknown. Because the ancients told and retold stories of mystery with never failing success. These tales lived. Translated, re written, paraphrased, they are still living, because of their ever new appeal to the very human trait of curiosity. 1. Ancient Mystery Tales Take the story of ‘The Clever Thief.’ It comes from the Tibetan, from an ancient Buddhist book that goes back nearly a thousand years. But even then it was not new. Missionaries had carried it thither from India in an odd corner of their bags, or in some chamber of the memory notfilled with the riddles of being. Where did they get it? Who can say? It was old when Herodotus wandered through sun lit Egypt twenty four centuries ago, gleaning tales from the priests of Amen and of Ptah. He tells it, point for point, as did those Buddhist missionaries, but lays it in the days of Rameses, nigh four thousand years ago. Everything is there; the cutting off of the head to elude detection, the tricks by which the relatives mourn over the headless trunk, the snare set for the thief and his outwitting it. And that…

A Christmas Alphabet

This book is an illustrated version of a rhymed alphabet made by Carolyn Wells in 1901. She felicitously finds something important about Christmas for each letter of the alphabet. Here is a sequence to give an idea of its flavor: ‘E is for Evergreens cut for the room / F is for Flowers of exquisite perfume / G is for Gifts that bring us delight / H is for Holly with red berries bright’. In 1989 we illustrated each rhyme with an antique image, including illustrators like Arthur Rackham, Sarah Stilwell, Jessie Willcox Smith, Oliver Herford, Anne Anderson, and Charles Robinson. It was published with great success by G.P. Putman. We like it so much that now that they have put it out of print, we are republishing it.

Christmas ABC

Many years ago we published an illustrated alphabet book using a rhyme by Carolyn Wells. It has sold well every Christmas since that first publication but recently Welleran Poltarnees our master of illustration reviewed his work and decided that, with our amplified resources and improvements in the art of color scanning and printing, he could do a better job. We told him to go ahead, and here we present his new version, and at a reduced retail price that we think will make it even more saleable. Some of the Christmas themes depicted are: bells, gifts, stars, ice, holly, wreaths, and reindeer. Artists include Willy Pogany, H.C. Leyendecker, Palmer Cox, Maginel Wright Barney, James Montgomery Flagg and Frances Tipton Hunter.
