Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Convictions of a Grandfather
Germs, whose avocation electricity. Our eldest daughter, Josie, a sweet girl, named for, and closely resembling, in my opinion, her mother at the same age, except for her red hair, the wife of James Perkins, the rising architect. If Winona is known as the beauty of the family, Josie is distinguished by her social tact and charm; and their mental traits also furnish a pleasing con trast, for my eldest daughter's cast of mind is engagingly conventional, whereas her sister, rather to her mother's dismay, is prone to enter tain advanced ideas, with some of which I se cretly sympathize. As for my sons, both are married, though David procrastinated so long that we began to fear he might remain an Old bachelor, and both are fathers. It is not the moment to describe the attractions Of their wives, lest too many names and individuals at once breed confusion.
