Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag: Cupid and Chow-Chow, Etc
Especially beautiful and attractive did he luok as he pranced on the door - steps one afternoon while waiting the arrival of a little cousin. Our Cupid's costume was modernized out of regard to the prej u dices of society, and instead of wings, bandage, bow and arrow, he was gorgeous to behold in small buckled shoes, purple silk hose, black velvet knick erbockers, and jacket with a lace collar, which, with his yellow hair cut straight across the forehead, and falling in long, curling love-locks behind, made him look like an old picture of a young cavalier.
It was impossible for the little sprig to help being a tri?e vain when every one praised his comeliness, and every mirror showed him a rosy face, with big blue eyes, smiling lips, white teeth, a cunning nose, and a dimple in the chin, not to mention the golden mane that hung about his neck.
