PREFACE.
"Wait until you are helped, my dear! Don’t
- 42 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
touch the pie until it is cut!"
- 43 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
The old Mother, Life, keeps saying that to us all.
- 44 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
As individuals, it is well for us to remember
- 45 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
it; that we may not have things until we are helped; at
- 46 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
any rate, until the full and proper time comes, for
- 47 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
courageously
and with right assurance helping
- 48 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
ourselves. Yet it is good for people, as people, to
- 49 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
get a morsel—a flavor—in advance. It is well that
- 50 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
they should be impatient for the King’s
- 51 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
supper, to which we shall all sit down, if we will, one
- 52 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
day. So I have not waited for everything
- 53 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
to happen and become a usage, that I have told
- 54 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
you of in this little story. I confess that there
- 55 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
are good things in it which have not yet, literally,
- 56 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
come to pass. I have picked something
- 57 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
out of the pie beforehand.
- 58 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
I meant, therefore, to have laid all dates aside;
- 59 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
especially as I found myself a little cramped
- 60 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
by them, in
re-introducing
among these "Other
- 61 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
Girls" the girls whom we have before, and rather
- 62 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
lately, known. Lest, possibly, in anything
- 63 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
which they have here grown to, or
experienced,
- 64 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
or
accomplished,
the sharply exact reader
- 65 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
should seem to detect the requirement of a longer
- 66 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
interval than the almanacs could actually
- 67 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
give, I meant to have asked that it should be
- 68 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
remembered,
that we story-tellers write chiefly in
- 69 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
the Potential Mood, and that tenses do not very
- 70 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
essentially signify. It will all have had opportunity
- 71 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
to be true in
eighteen-seventy-five,
if it have not had in
eighteen-seventy-three.
- 72 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
Well enough, indeed, if the prophecies
- 73 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
be justified as speedily as the
prochronisms
will.
- 74 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
The Great Fire, you see, came in and dated
- 75 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
it. I could not help that; neither could I
- 76 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
leave the great fact out.
- 77 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
Not any more could I possibly tell what sort of April
- 78 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
days we should have, when I found myself
- 79 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
fixed to the very coming April and Easter, for
- 80 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
the closing chapters of my tale. If persistent
snow-storms
- 81 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
fling a falsehood in my face, it will be what I have
- 82 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
not heretofore believed
possible,—a
white one;
- 83 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
and we can all think of balmy Aprils that have been,
- 84 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
and that are yet to be.
- 85 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
With these appeals for trifling
allowance,—leaving
the larger
- 86 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
need to the obvious accounting for in a largeness
- 87 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
of subject which no slight fiction can adequately

CHAPTER I.
- 130 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
SPILLED OUT.
Sylvie Argenter was driving about in
- 131 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
her mother’s little
basket-phæton.
- 132 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
There was a story about this little
basket-phæton,
a story,
- 133 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
and a bit of domestic diplomacy.
- 134 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
The story would branch away, back and
- 135 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
forward; which I cannot, right here in this first
- 136 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
page, let it do. It would tell—taking the little carriage for
- 137 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
a text and key—ever so much about aims and ways
- 138 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
and principles, and the drift of a household
- 139 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
life, which was one of the busy little currents in
- 140 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
the world that help to make up its great universal
- 141 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
character and
atmosphere,
at this present
- 142 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
age of things, as the drifts and sweeps of
- 143 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
ocean make up the climates and
- 144 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
atmospheres
that wrap and influence the planet.
- 145 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
But the diplomacy had been this:—
- 146 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
"There is one thing, Argie, I should
- 147 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
really like Sylvie to have. It is getting to be almost a
- 148 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
necessity, living out of town as we do."
- 149 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
Mr. Argenter’s other names were
- 150 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
"Increase Muchmore;" but his wife passed over all
- 151 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
that, and called him in the grace of conjugal
- 152 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
intimacy, "Argie."
- 153 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
Increase Muchmore Argenter.
- 154 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
A curious
combination;
but you need not
- 155 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
say it could not have happened. I have read half a
- 156 -

dozen as funny
combinations
in a single advertising

page of a newspaper, or in a single transit of

The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
the city in a horse-car.
- 159 -
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Other Girls, by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
