| Happy whoever writes a book |
| On which the world shall kindly look, |
| And who, when many a year has flown— |
| The volume worn, the author gone— |
| Revere, admire, and still read on. |

EXTRACTS FROM PRESS NOTICES OF A FORMER
VOLUME.
"We find these poems of sentiment by Hattie Howard entirely natural, spontaneous, direct, rhythmical, and free from ambitious pretense. Many of the fanciful verses have a laugh at the end; and the collection has altogether a sunny, hopeful spirit and will be welcome in this time of generally morbid expression."
"This author's verse shows a hearty, wholesome, human spirit, sometimes overflowing into downright fun, and a straightforward directness always. It is a pleasant book, sure to be welcomed by all."
"These garnered gems reveal a genuine poetic faculty, and are worthy their attractive setting. We give the book a hearty welcome."
