SIX GIRLS AND THE TEA ROOM

To Gertrude,
amid the mountains:

Again a story of the Six Girls of whom we are fond, is dedicated toyou. It will tell you what delightful things grew out of their TeaRoom, and how the "Patty-Pans flat" was filled with happiness till itoverflowed into a larger home.

It proves—what you know—that the best times are not always greattimes. Our Six Girls—and the boys—are busy young folk, and the goodthings that have come to them they won by courage, perseverance and themerry hearts that are part of innocence and sweetness.

More than all, our Six Girls—and one boy—love one another so dearlythat they cannot help being successful and happy. We believe—do wenot?—that a loving home alone is a real home.

Margery, Happie, Gretta and Bob know well that "'tis love that makesthe world go 'round." They ask love of those who read the story oftheir Tea Room which brought happiness to so many, in such unforeseenways. It is the story of a winter, but a winter all sunshine.

Remembering how it was written is it fittingly dedicated to you, dearGertrude.
