Excerpt from How Janice Day Won Mr. Nelson Haley, the principal of the Polktown school. Janice attended the Middletown Seminary, and this chanced to be a holiday at that institution. She stood anxiously on the corner now to see if her cousin, Marty, was one of this crowd Of noisy fellows. With stumbling feet, and with the half dozen laughing, mocking boys tailing him, a bewhiskered, rough-looking, Shabby man came into Sight. His appearance on the pleasant main thoroughfare Of the little lakeside town quite spoiled the prospect. Before, it had been a lovely scene. Young Spring, garbed only in the tender greens Of the quickened earth and the swelling buds Of maple and lilac, had accompanied Janice Day down Hillside Avenue into High Street from the Old Day house where she lived with her Uncle Jason, her Aunt 'mira, and Marty. All the neighbors had seen Janice and had smiled at her, and those whose eyes were anointed by Romance saw Spring dancing by the young girl's Side. Her eyes sparkled, there was a rose in either cheek, her trim figure in the brown frock, well built walking Shoes Of tan, and pretty toque, was an effective bit of life in the picture, the background of which was the sloping street to the steamboat dock and the beautiful, blue, dancing waters Of the lake beyond.
