Produced by Dagny; and John Bickers
PETTY TROUBLES OF MARRIED LIFE

their color--
"What color?" some grocer will doubtless ask; "books are bound in
yellow, blue, green, pearl-gray, white--"
Alas! books possess another color, they are dyed by the author,
and certain writers borrow their dye. Some books let their color
come off on to others. More than this. Books are dark or fair,
light brown or red.
