ix, 342 pp. Color plates by Clara M. Burd. "The book revolves around Polly Milton, the old-fashioned girl who titles the story. Polly visits her wealthy friend Fanny Shaw in the city and is overwhelmed by the fashionable and urban life they live––but also left out because of her "countrified" manners and outdated clothes. The novel was the basis of a 1949 musical film starring Gloria Jean as Polly."
