Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Girl's Own Outdoor Book: Containing Practical Help to Girls on Matters Relating to Outdoor Occupation and Recreation
Look, then, girls, inside this book, and let each one find out how best to improve her general health by some outdoor occupation, whether it be in pastimes such as tennis, riding, swimming, boating, skating, etc., or in the gentler pursuits Of botanising, shell-collecting at the seaside, observing the ways and habits of birds, or in the healthy practice of gardening.
It is true that country girls have greater opportunities of studying Nature than town girls have; but in this volume there is plenty of occupa tion for town girls, such as the wholesome practice of making calls, ' marketing (and the benefit to the household when this is undertaken by some responsible person is considerable), and the like.
