Fifty Social Evenings by Annie E. Smiley - First Edition, 1894 for the collection with just a tiny bit

with just a tiny bit of loss of white paint in a couple of spots that just adds to its charm

narrowing at the top to a small and tightly fitting lid that reminds me of a little hat perched atop a large head

which I think gives this little rabbit a very energetic feeling and immediacy

Perfect for the home bar or throwing in a picnic basket along with a bottle of wine

and the box sits on round brass or bronze feet

Fifty Social Evenings by Annie E. Smiley - First Edition, 1894 for the collection with just a tiny bitSo much fun! Published by the Central Office of the Epworth League (a Methodist young adult association formed in Cleveland in 1889) Fifty Social Evenings was written to help the league's department of social work in their efforts "to make league socials bright, entertaining and instructive." Happily, the fifty games and themes detailed possess a wonderful weirdness and specificity that makes for great reading and imagining, if not actual execution.
