PUBLISHERS' NOTE
This little book was originally published under the title Saturday Mornings , but there has been some criticism of that title because it is not
sufficiently descriptive of the contents of the book. The Publishers,
consequently, have thought it wise in the present edition to change the
title to A Little Housekeeping Book for a Little Girl OR MARGARET'S SATURDAY MORNINGS. This change has the advantage also of making the title uniform with the
other titles in the series A Little Cook Book for a Little Girl , A Little Sewing Book for a Little Girl, etc.
Thanks are due the editor of Good Housekeeping for permission to
reproduce the greater part of this book from the serial in that
magazine.

"Margaret, would you mind staying out of the sitting room all this
morning?" But this Christmas everybody said these things twice as often
as usual, and Margaret wondered about it. "Mother," she said one day, "if you were a little girl and every one
said 'Run away, now,' over and over, twice as many times as other
Christmases, what would you think?" Her mother laughed... Continue reading book >>
