A business man of our town was
looking through some old books in his
library the other day, and came upon
constant use. He handed it to a caller
saying that it was book he had in
college. His visitor took it, expecting
to see a title Of a work on calculus or
a treatise on the movements of the
heavenly bodies, but what he saw
was the name of an Eleanor Glynn
novel that was so violently denounced
and so generally and faithfully read
some six or seven years ago. The
young business man fell into a train
of "reminiscences inspired by the sight
of the worn volume. That book" he
said, came out when l was in Wash
burn. 1 bought copy and passed it
to the other boys. One of them left
it in his room, and his sister, who was
a student. nabbed it. She carried it
to her room, and there every evening,
the sweet, unsophisticated, angel girls
collected to hear the story read aloud
by one of their number. AS soon as
the lessons could be rushed through,
the book was taken up. The lights in
the building had to be out at a GER
tain time, and when that time was
up, a candle was. lighted SO that the
reading could be continued. The book
carried evidence Of haSty conceal
ments, and on the pages were daubs of
fudge, scorcheds places on the leaves,
and candle grease from first to last.
Nearly all of those girls are married
now, and some time when their chill
dren are grown up and gone away to
college, I am going to show them this
book and remind them of the risque
story they once e de J. e on the sly"
