About This Book

Reprint of 1941 Second Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. One secret of Shinn's success was that she was always herself . . . colloquial, informal, friendly, and humorous. She herself was very spiritual . . . and taught by familiar, practical, and everyday examples.
