Description
Ruth Martin Carvill's essay answers the question, "What is a Game?' She mentions that some bookworms would rather read in the woods the words of the "sweet warbler Dan Chaucer' than play a game like tennis. She discusses the advantages and disadvantages of game playing, as well as criticism of women not playing games in the past (teacher-s remarks to those critical comments: "Oh? Shades of Eunice Elizabeth!'). Illustrations by Ruth Martin Carvill: 1st page - sketch of two girls playing a game 3rd page - watercolor of a dark wooded forest 5th page - sketch of "the anxious Mother & the pigs' 7th page -pencil sketch of "the weak chinned heroine.' Teacher-s grade: A good 3. 28.v.03
