So many of my friends, from one end of Canada to the other, have helped me in the matter of these stories that their names would make a substantial addition to this book. I can only return thanks, and say that each request has been met with the utmost kindness and goodwill.
To the Editor of the Canadian Home Journal, for the use of excerpts from a series of my stories of Canadian cities, I am especially grateful.
KATHERINE HALE.
