Synopsis
Excerpt from Their First Formal Call
Boy in an unnaturally clean, country-laundered collar walked down a long, white road. He scuffed the dust up wantonly, for he wished to veil the all-too-brilliant polish Of his cowhide Shoes. Also the memory Of the whiteness and Slipperiness Of his collar oppressed him. He was fain to look like one accustomed to social di versions, a man hurried from hall to hall Of pleasure, Without time between to Change collar or polish boot. He stooped and rubbed a crumb Of earth on his over-fresh neck linen. This did not long sustain his drooping spirit. He was mentally adrift upon the Hints and Helps to Young Men in.

About the Author
Grace MacGowan Cooke (1863-1944) was born in Grand Rapids, Ohio, and her family resettled in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1865. She was in her mid-twenties when her writing was first published, and by the turn of the century she was an established author, with works appearing in 'Harper's, ' 'Munsey's, ' and the 'Atlantic Monthly.' At the age of 43, she left her husband and her Appalachian roots behind to pursue a career as a writer in New York City. She later lived with her two daughters and sister in artists' colonies in Englewood, New Jersey, and Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. Elizabeth S.D.

She lives in Morgantown, West Virginia.
