Book Description
Excerpt from Homespun: December 1925 The whole house with its Yuletide decorations was thor oughly in keeping with the Spirit of its members, to-wit: peace on earth, good will to men, with a lot Of merriment thrown in for good measure. The few wonderful etchings and rare em gravings which broke the soft smooth white of walls at long intervals were tipped with holly. From the simply designed chandelier hung a graceful piece Of mistletoe. In a comfortable corner of the room reigned a handsome Christmas tree. Its many, many subjects were donned in the gayest of costumes, some green, some red, and some white; packages tied with pretty corded strings and ribbons of gold, silver, red and green. Now and then could be seen a shy little trick tucked away in the fork Of a limb. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Homespun, Vol. 4: October 1928 Bruce was bewildered. He had gotten the wrong house, he supposed. But the girl in pink was so charming. Why not stay and play the game? He asked himself. The real Jimmy Price would not be there until he reasoned, and by that time he would be on his way back home. His thoughts were interrupted by the entrance of Joe. Well, well! He exclaimed, extending his hand. So this is Jimmy Price, Betsy's son. Betsy was my Sister, Jim, and a humdinger at that. She had a whole string of beaux, but finally eloped with Gerald Price, your father. She died when you came, and Gerald died of grief two months later. We lost track of you entirely until I read an announcement in the paper of your connection with that furniture company. Well, we're mighty glad to see you. Just make yourself at home.

Excerpt from Homespun: November 1925 For years after the Puritan Thanksgiving of 1621 the cele bration of Thanksgiving Day was held at irregular intervals; and until Congress authorized that it be acclaimed a public holi day after the Revolution, it held a more or less obscure position, but even then its observance was limited to the Northern States. It was introduced as a legal holiday in Virginia in 1855; one year later eight Southern States followed Virginia's example. How ever, Thanksgiving was not celebrated nationally until 1864. Since then it has been the yearly duty of the President to proclaim the! Fourth Thursday in November as the national day of Thanksgiving.

Excerpt from Homespun, Vol. 8: December 1932 Oliver Wendell Holmes, a beloved poet, gives a description in one of his poems of the strict observance of the Sabbath in the Puritan communities. He says that no footsteps were heard out in the fields and that no happy children's voices were raised in laughter. It was only a day of quiet worship and the obeying of the rigidity of the laws.

Book Description
Excerpt from Homespun, Vol. 5: December 1929 Ince primeval man first cherished awe for the supernatural when he opened his eyes and stared in amazement at the wondrous things placed at his disposal for his own comfort and enjoyment, he at some time or other has formed some Conception of the ruler of the heavens, almighty, all-powerful, around whom the whole earth evolved. Even today, we, with all our knowledge given to us by science, still have a God who presides over the universe with a never-erring hand. Our idea is the result of the experience and discoveries of the ages preceding us. Religion is the most puzzling and the most profound question which has confronted the human mind since time began, and it is the most difficult, perhaps, that the mind has tried to cope with. We can readily see that there is some kind of divine power back of everything, because if there were not some sort of a guiding hand to keep this old world right, things could not progress in such a smooth fashion.

Book Description
Excerpt from Homespun, Vol. 8: March 1933 So Horace went home, his mind filled with a jumble of angels, of fairy music to which he and she glided rhythmically to and fro, exciting admiring glances where they went. Now Horace had never been to a dance, but he had attended a few parties where there had been dancing, simply because his mother had literally forced him to go. He had watched the dancers with contempt then; but thinking it over now, it seemed easy enough. He practiced a little by himself in front of the mirror in the living room and decided that he would have no trouble. Of course, he would not be dancing much anyway. They would go out in the garden and talk. Where was she, anyhow? He'd been here over an hour, and he hadn't talked to her yet. He had thought he'd better dance with some other girl first, to practice up a little for her; but it hadn't gone so well. It seemed that he and the girl just couldn't find out what each other was doing. He guessed he'd better not try to dance any more. If he could only find her, they could go some place and talk. He hadn't seen her for at least twenty minutes, not since he was dancing with that girl. Whew, it was hot in here; he might as well go out and cool off.
