Transcriber's Notes:
Obvious punctuation errors repaired.
Varied hyphenation retained between different authors' stories.
Page 63, A character named "Robert" appears in a sidenote and one paragraph. In the next paragraph his name is changed to Max. The first two instances have been changed to Max to conform. (Uncle Max) and (it was so, Max.)
The story entitled "Poor Jane's Brother" is credited to M. Ling in the table of contents and in the list of authors, but the page on which the story begins lists Marie F. Salton as the author. This discrepancy was retained.
An illustration was included in this volume originally on page 38. However it does not seem to belong with any of the stories this book contains. It is included here.
AT THE PICNIC: "I SHAN'T PLAY IF YOU FELLOWS ARE SO ROUGH!"
