How to Amuse Yourself and Others: The American Girl's Handy Book (Classic Reprint)

When a new book of sports for boys has made its appearance ;but it was not until the publication of the American Boy sH andy Book that it occurred to us to write a book for the American boys neglected sisters, which should be equally original and practical. In the Girl sH andy Book, which it has been our endeavor to make peculiarly A merican, we have sought to introduce original and novel ideas, and by their aid to open new avenues of enterprise and enjoyment. One of our objects is to impress upon the minds of the girls the fact that they all possess talent and ability to achieve more than they suppose possible, and we would encourage a belief in the truth of the remark said to have been made by a famous Frenchman :W hen you Americans undertake anything you never stop to ascertain if it be possible, you simply do it. We desire also to help awaken the inventive faculty, usually uncultivated in girls, and, by giving detailed methods of new work and amusements, to put them on the road which they can travel and explore alone.
