I imagine if a book agent came in

I BRICK
, ; am talkiig about my book—thi
child who ha- come home.
I have had a lot of fun with i
all—first making up my mind to
do it; then hurrying around I i find
out what on earth I could put in it
then deciding to make my own pit-
lures to illustrate it; then, a-rangin;
how she should be dressed. Yes-si
there was lots of sentiment at- j ou ^ and ; n the fre
taihed to that part—for nothing but .FIRST book—foi
green and gold would do. Why—?i s „ thor.- mu nn*
because- -all growing tilings are a
beautiful green—and isn't the book
dedicated to a Garden? And my
grandson is the sunlgiht of my life—
and also the sunlight has a great deal
to do with the beauty of my garden
—so there you arc. Simple—isn’t
it?—But, not so simple after all, for
she hnd to go all the way to Virginiu
to get her pretty dre?s. But—she
is at home now—and I see my finish
this week. 1 am just about to wear
my two poor feet off all over again,
trying to get around and deliver those
tjhat Ffive been ordered—and—ol>
well, business is business, you know,
and if I don’t want to ent my Christ
mas dinner in jail, Iwil] have to get
a move on me and sell those books.
And there-by hangs a tale,
have to be truthful. I don’t think
much of myself as a book agent,
gutss there have been so muny jokes
about them, just like the mother-
law—poor thing—that if you i
“book agent" folks arc just ready
to laugh, unless they find
their front door. I would start out
some fine morning—all full of pep
and feeling so good that I knew I was |
going to get about ten or twelve ord
ers right off the but—and by the
time I would get to the first stopping
pluce. I’d sit in my car for awhile,
deciding if that was the best place
to go in fir.‘.L Sometimes I’d go in
-—ometimes I wouldn't.
I tried to be just as business like
as I could—and I hnd a nice speech
made up—telling all the best quali
ties of the book, pictures,
tents etc—and I “sho* did mind my
p-s and q-s when I vent in to seo a
