About this book
The foreword to Fireside Stories for Girls in Their Teens, by Margaret W. Eggleston, quotes the line that, given a Camp-fire, a group of friendly girls and a good story-teller who knows and loves the girls, the ideals of a whole community may be lifted in a night. The foreword calls the teen age girl a great problem and at the same time a great opportunity. One story shows a girl whose Bible opened to the Psalms, and who says that perhaps if she should go out into the hills for the day, God would help her.
A speaker recalls the night of the snowstorm, when the speaker caught up with someone snuggling into a beautiful little neckpiece of ermine that an uncle had sent, with a story about the little animal whose fur it was. A girl entering a gallery pulls from her book the assignment to study the pictures in Gallery Nine and bring the name and the artist of the picture that speaks most plainly to her.
