Transcriber’s Notes:
Obvious punctuation errors repaired. About a third of the way through the book, the printer started using small-capitals on the first word of each chapter. (Page 30—AN AFTERNOON IN HOLLAND) To make the layout consistent, small-capitals have been added to the initial chapters as well. As usual, small-capitals will appear as ALL-CAPITALS in the plain text version.
Page 7, “you” changed to “your” (Now when your friends)
Pages 32-34, text uses “kimono” in the poem, but “kimona” twice in the chapter text. Both were retained as printed.
Page 57, “inviations” changed to “invitations” (invitations right away)
