GREETING
This book is for those who in treading the garden path have no thought
of material gain; rather must they give, from the pocket as they

in full measure this pure joy of living. "Allons! the road is before us!
It is safe I have tried it my own feet
have tried it well be not detained."
WALT WHITMAN.
