To the innumerable
SISTER SUES
All over the world who, patient and uncom-
plaining, have lived their "barren" lives with
the "life worth while" ever beckoning them
from afar, and especially
to certain very dear "Sister Sues"
personally known to me but whose modesty
forbids my mentioning them here by name
THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED
