In Vanity Fair - A Tale of Frocks and Femininity by Eleanor Hoyt BrainerdThe Parisienne, in her subtler phases, is a theme for a feminist of genius; and this little book does not venture upon the psychological deep seas.Grave issues are tangled in the game of fashion-making; but the world through which My Lady of the Chiffons dances lightly to gay music reeks of frivolity, and the story of the fashionable Parisienne and of the haunts in which she obtains and displays her incomparable frocks must needs be a story of folly and extravagance, best told, perhaps, by snap-shots of the inner courts of Vanity Fair.

THESE DELIGHTFUL STORIES from Eleanor Howard’s collection: Laura Morrow and the Green Grapes, Miss Daylily, and Noche are sure to entertain grade school children the same way they captivated Mrs. Howard’s own students during her career as a teacher in Georgia. All three stories are full of youthful wonder, enthusiasm, and adventure. Eleanor Howard is happy to share them with today’s teachers, parents, and children. All three stories are lushly illustrated by the artist Bob Brabham.In Laura Morrow and the Green Grapes a young girl who loves the outdoors—and green grapes—finds herself in all kinds of trouble when she breaks a promise to her mother. Miss Daylily is the story of an exceptional teacher who assumes a new identity to mystify and entertain her students, while Noche tells of a young boy who finds the love of his life in a new puppy, loses his love, and then finds it again. Eleanor Howard is a natural story teller, which made her perfect as a teacher whose students loved nothing better¬than a good story—especially when it was about children in whom they could see themselves.

Create-a-Drama builds on the existing knowledge of and interest in television situation comedies, one-hour dramas, and made-for-TV films; theater; radio; and movies. It can be used as a unit in creative writing or as a unit on dramatic production. It may be used as it is written or it may be used in parts. Create-a-Drama will help develop students' abilities in observing, recalling, applying, analyzing, interpreting, concluding, synthesizing, and evaluating and will encourage divergent and convergent thinking. At the same time it will contribute to the development of students' oral, written, and imaginative skills, with the additional advantage of being fun. Finally, it can give students three end products-knowledge, a script, and a production-of which they will be proud.

This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for quality. Quality assurance was conducted on each of these books in an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the digitization process. Though we have made best efforts - the books may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading experience. We believe this work is culturally important and have elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
