The first two pages offer places for filling in "The Twenty-five Most Remarkable Girls: Prettiest, Homeliest, Most Sincere, Greatest Flirt, Most Religious, Wickedest, Most Athletic, etc. (list alone is worth the price of admission!). Book is clean with nothing filled in. Owner name on recto of frontispiece: "Miss Verlie A. Buckley, Proctor Vermont, from Aunt Julia Dec. 25th 1914"; name also is written on the title label on the box with an address. In researching I find a Publishers' Weekly listing for this title dated December 12, 1914. It cost one dollar way back then. There was also such a diary produced for women, published in October 1918, also arranged by A. F. titled: Soldiers and Sailors I Have Met. Condition: VERY GOOD book / VERY GOOD- wrapper / VERY GOOD- box: book is like new excepting the above-mentioned names; glassine wrapper has light edgewear of small chips and tears; box has light rubbing to edges, one torn corner, a few stains to front, and owner name on title label. A terrific piece of social history!
