George Ade's fables are read the world over. This volume is, as its title indicates, a series of extraordinarily clever sketches on themes that were very dear to the author's heart, and which is vastly interesting to most people."The Girl Proposition" is packed with sense and wit and entertainment, all in the inimitable Ade vein and profusely illustrated by John T. McCutcheon, Frank Holme, Carl Werntz, and Clyde J. Newnan.
