IF I WERE TO DEDICATE THIS BOOK IT WOULD BE TO THOSE GIRLS WHO RESOLVE THAT THEY WILL NOT PLAY THE POOR ROLE OF MICAWBER, THEIR ONLY CHANCE FOR LIFE BEING THAT SOME ONE WILL "TURN UP" WHOM THEY MAY BURDEN WITH THEIR HELPLESS WEIGHT
PREFACE
This book was not written to amuse, to create purposeless excitement,
