Gene Stratton-Porter 
Morning Face 

The keynote of joyousness is struck by the title ’Morning Face, ’ since the words represent the inspired idea of R. L. Stevenson in his verse, ’If I have shown no morning face.’ About this idea Gene Stratton-Porter, author of ’Laddie, ’ ’Freckles, ’ etc., has made this book for children. Although many tens of thousands of children have read and loved ’Freckles’ and her other books, this is the first time she has made a book specially for the youngsters. In prose and verse she gives her word-pictures of the buds, the flowers, and the life of the out-of-doors.
