preface: In "our little Canadian Cousin," my intention has been to tell, in a general way, although with a defined local setting, the story of Canadian home life. To Canadian, home life means not merely sitting at a hugh fireplace o, or brewing and baking in a wide country kitchen, or dancing of an evening, or teaching or sewing; but it means the great outdoor life-sleighing, skating, snow-showing, hunting, canoeing, and , above all, "camping out"- the joys that belong to the vast, uncrowded country, where there is "room to play".
