A FRIDAY LESSON A HOME ART; OR, MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS ESPRIT DE CORPS ROUGH NOTES OF A LESSON HOLIDAYS SUNDAY FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE A GOOD TIME "The Sweet, Sweet Love of Daughter, "I have discovered a thing very little known, which is, that in one's whole life one can never have more than a single mother. You may think this obvious and (what you call) a trite observation.... You are a green gosling!
