How old are you, Patty? asked her father, abruptly. "Fourteen, papa, -why?" "My conscience! what a great girl you're getting to be. Stand up and let me look at you." Patty Fairfield, with two twists and a spring, brought herself to her feet, and stood awaiting her father's inspection. He saw a slender, graceful girl, a Southern blonde of the purest type. Her pretty golden hair would gladly have hung in curly masses, but it was only allowed to have its own sweet will around her temples and at the end of a long thick braid.

If you liked Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott, you will most assuredly enjoy this book. It's not heavy on plot, but is fairly engaging anyway. It's about a young girl who is going to spend a year with four of her different relatives in turn. Then when she is reunited with her father, they will set up housekeeping together and she will have figured out exactly what kind of lifestyle/household is best for them, by observing the varied ways that her relatives have of managing their homes. Her father charges her to find out what "proportion" means by taking note of what her relatives do either too much or too little. It's pretty cute, and sometimes funny. It's evidently the first in a series, and I liked it enough to start the second one, "Patty at Home." ( )

"Well, my girl, you've made out a pretty strong case, haven't you?" said her father, "and as my principal object in life is to make you happy, I think, Patty dear, that I'll let you decide where our home shall be, and how it shall be conducted."
