About This Book

A collection of humorous and tender short stories and sketches portraying everyday American characters across rustic and small-town settings. Episodes range from comic diggings in a mining camp where locals resist a schoolteacher to domestic vignettes and social encounters that blend satire, pathos, and irony. The pieces vary in length and tone, combining lively dialogue, vivid local color, and gently ironic observation of human foibles, often centering on misunderstandings, matchmaking schemes, and the adjustments of strangers and families to unexpected events.

A CHARMING BOOK.
JUST PUBLISHED.
BY THE AUTHOR OF
“HELEN’S BABIES.”

In this country and in Great Britain over 250,000 copies have been sold of “Helen’s Babies,” and it is safe to say that more than half a million of readers are eagerly waiting for the narrative of the further haps and mishaps of those irresistible youths, “Budge” and “Toddie.”


“A new book from the pen of Mr. Habberton, while not an unlooked for event, for the reason that he has published so much within the past few years that his wealth of resource is proverbial and his industry almost as remarkable as was that of either Budge or Toddie, is nevertheless a very welcome one. Mr. Habberton has written himself into the good graces of the public, and with each new venture he finds a still warmer welcome than the last received.

“The contents consists of a number of stories, of various lengths, on every imaginable subject, grave, gay and pathetic, and there is such a supply of each that all readers will find something to their satisfaction. Already large editions have been sold, and the demand grows with the knowledge learned from those who have read it that it is the best book this author has put forth.”

Who, while other publishers were advising the writer of these sketches to write, supplied the author with encouragement in the shape of a publishing medium and the lucre which all literary men despise but long for, this volume is respectfully dedicated by

The Author.
