About the Author
Kate V. Saint Maur relates her personal experiences which commenced ten years ago (1895). Up to that time she had been a city woman, striving, like hundreds of others, to maintain appearances on housekeeping allowance which needed coaxing over every little bump of hospitality, to induce the two ends to meet. Through by chance, fate, providence or whatever name is preferred for the power which shapes our ends, led her to the Pet Stock and Poultry Show, and there it suddenly occurred to Mrs. Saint Maur that, instead of waiting for the acquisition of fortune to realize the desire, the desire might be made to help acquire some of the fortune. It was such a comfortable, invigorating inspiration that it enthused away all the obstacles suggested by a cautious husband, and his consent was won on condition that current expenses were not increased or capital risked.
