Eighty Good Times Out of Doors (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Eighty Good Times Out of Doors The book has had the good fortune to be critic ally read, while still in manuscript, by Mrs. Alice C. D. Riley, three of whose Songs for the Child World are included by permission of the John Church Co. It would be impossible to name all those whose suggestions have been helpful, but for special aid thanks are due to Miss Imogen A. Storey, for the drills; to Miss Alice Chadwick, Mrs. H. W. Doremus, Mr. John W. Rhines, Mr. Jos. G. Davis, Mr. A. A. Burnham, Miss Alice M.' Guernsey, and Mr. Vincent Van Marter Beede, author of the Fourth of July Fantasy, etc. Healthful, innocent enjoyment of the out-door world is simply taking God at His word. Why should we not? In doing so, play is only the shell, but the kernel is full of a sweet ness that leaves no bitter taste. If you, my reader, are one of those who have not yet given the fresh air a chance to blow away all the doleful memories or still more dismal fancies that trouble you, it is not too late to begin.
