  FOREWORD
   "And so," the story writers used to say, "they lived happily ever
  after."
  Um-m-m--maybe. After the glamour had worn off, and the glass
  slippers were worn out, did the Prince never find Cinderella's manner
  redolent of the kitchen hearth; and was it never necessary that he remind
  her to be more careful of her finger-nails and grammar? After Puss in
  Boots had won wealth and a wife for his young master did not that
  gentleman often fume with chagrin because the neighbors, perhaps,
  refused to call on the lady of the former poor miller's son?
  It is a great risk to take with one's book-children. These stories make
  no such promises. They stop just short of the phrase of the old story
  writers, and end truthfully, thus: And so they lived.
