I thought this would be a fun post, too.<br /><br />Dorothy, I loved this advice too, even if I don't follow it either. I always enjoy going through the old Girl's Own copies I have collected, it is very cool that you remember them.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-64967911126998798552012-03-01T11:58:35.750-05:002012-03-01T11:58:35.750-05:00Very nice post!

Remembering Girls' Own, and how in cold houses we largely had open fireplaces to keep warm, it really was a constant temptation to hold the book too near the fire! Better get on and start dusting my books!Dorothy Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199627468549426478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-39864339593776807502012-03-01T07:21:11.534-05:002012-03-01T07:21:11.534-05:00Lend with discrimination - ha!

The girl in it looks so sophisticated and almost spylike.<br /><br />Charlotte, well, I am afraid I don't always practice what I preach and daily dusting isn't on my list of everyday chores either. And I probably don't turn pages all that carefully, especially in a book that is very engrossing.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-62051648882626624502012-03-01T06:36:18.592-05:002012-03-01T06:36:18.592-05:00Don't turn leaves with your thumb gave me paus...Don't turn leaves with your thumb gave me pause--I had to go try it, and failed.
