3 I suppose that I should also mention the utterly extraneous factor that for a time one of my older copies of the King James Bible had been laid across them pending my finding a new location for it among my shelves. Suffice it to say that last autumn I had occasion to again reshuffle my whole collection having decided to re-alphabetize things. When I came to the lower shelf on which the two volumes stood, I was surprised to find that the books were wedged very tightly, a circumstance I do not approve as it tends to break bindings. I found that someone had inserted between "Marguerite" and "Mansweep" about six xxxx thin paper-covered pamphlets. On looking at them I am sure I never bought them and I do not know anyone that might have. They were children's booklets, little sixteen page accounts in very large type and simple one-syllable wording of very simple tales. They were the type of booklet one may find in book stores for children under six. I must admit they were very well printed and published. I doubt now that I have seen better. The little tales each booklet told were simple but very smoothly worded. They seemed to be a series about two characters, "Jack and Jean" a little boy and a little girl. The publisher was given on the flyleaf as Marymount Press, Heming, Cal. Date 1940. I have looked up this press and I am unable to find it listed anywhere. It must be a very new concern. I placed these booklets in the darkness of the back row of one my higher shelves. I did not want to throw them out because I could
