Playmates / by Elizabeth Anne Nelson ; illustrations by Bal.

"Here are two little ones who discover that children often do not select their own PLAYMATES. Pat thought his aunt was treating him like One of the Girls because she made him play with her little daughters so he decided to run away not knowing that his punisihment for this willful act would be to teach him to accept her selection of his playmates.

"It was all just A Little Misunderstanding that his parents had caused by misleading his aunt. Hazel was certain that he could straighten her out. But, she understood all too well their little ploy of naming him after her just so that she would give him all the advantages of her wealth and introduce him to those who would improve his social standing in life. She thought that it was only proper to start his social amelioration by selecting a governess and playmates who would prepare him to understand what she really planned to do for their child."
