The Lover's Baedeker and Guide to Arcady

by Carolyn Wells

L’ENVOI

Cupid, my secrets ne’er betray,

Let me not realize my fear;

And may they be destroyed, I pray,

My valentines of yester-year.

BUSINESS SECTION

The Business Section of Arcady is on Wise Acre Square, just South of Wall Street. Here may be found the Great Heart Trust, the Unbounded Trust Company, and the offices of the Trust Her Not Association. These Companies issue United States Bonds of Matrimony upon application.

The Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court are busy places, and in their courtyards sweethearts may be seen courting at any time during business hours.

They receive and negotiate Sealed Proposals and Bids and draw up Marriage contracts.
