Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from White City Chips In taking up my pen to make my excuse - my apology for launching this echo of the World´s Fair - I feel that I stand between criticism and the readers who have kindly told me that "White City Chips" - as they were originally published - gave them pleasure. At the close of the Exposition many letters came asking me to arrange my daily column in book form, as a personal history; that it would be "everybody´s experience at the World´s Fair." In looking at the "Chips," with this idea in view, I paused - agazed at the amount of work it would take to get them into shape where they would grace the dignity of covers. To-day, after two years, I find that I cannot cut or cull from the original without losing something that was a part of that beautiful past; and that I am not competent to judge as to what should be taken out or what left in. So I give them to you as they were then - leaving out only those columns which, while they may have amused in the general run, gave pain to some. And here I will say, that the heartaches caused by my pen sometimes wandering too near the truth, or the things that might as well have been left untold, were not through thought or deliberation; these things simply came into my daily life - myself only one of the thousands, the millions who came as visitors.
