Please do not attempt to read it anywhere else.
In order to obtain the best results for all concerned do not read a borrowed copy, but buy one. If the bed is a double bed, buy two.

Most of these sketches were first printed in the Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger; others appeared in The Bookman, the Boston Evening Transcript, Life, and The Smart Set. To all these publications I am indebted for permission to reprint.
If one asks what excuse there can be for prolonging the existence of these trifles, my answer is that there is no excuse.
