Excerpt from May Iverson Tackles Life
IN answer to many letters received during the serial publication of this book, I wish to say that the convent of St. Catharine's has no existence in fact. Its great walled garden, and the wide main hall, with countless little music rooms opening off it, are features of the convent from which I graduated many years ago. The river, however, to which reference is so often made, flows through the grounds of a convent in another State, Where I have spent my happiest hours; and the mound and the Shrines are in the grounds of a third great con vent in which my sister was a pupil.
Of the girls, Mabel Blossom and May Iverson herself are the only ones drawn from life - as clearly as one can draw Who must look at her models through the mists of more than twenty years. To-day Mabel Blossom's children, their mother writes me, know May Iverson by heart.
