FOOTNOTES:
[1] Unless otherwise expressed in this book it will be understood that all temperatures are recorded by the Fahrenheit scale.
[2] The author wishes that this were literally true, for he believes that no great man or great woman ever was born from a mother with a painted face, dyed lips, false hair, and a body pitifully distorted by ungracefully ambling about in high heeled shoes. The power of suggestion is so great in its influence on the plastic mind of youth that a mother who is little else than a perambulating falsehood will leave descendants wanting in many if not all of the attributes of manly and womanly virtues.
