The little story A Virginia Cousin, here put into print for the first time, is in some sort a tribute offered by a long-exiled child of the South to her native soil. It is also a transcript of certain phases of that life in the metropolis which has been pooh-poohed by some critics as trivially undeserving of a chronicler, but fortunate hitherto in finding a few readers willing to concede as much humanity to the heroine in satin as to the confidante in linen.
Of the other contents of this volume, Out of Season made its first appearance some time ago in Two Tales , and On Frenchman's Bay was published in The Cosmopolitan Magazine .
