- catalog abstract ""Sadie Harper Allen (1875-1915) was from Shediac, New Brunswick. 'A Full House and Fine Singing' features a selection of Sadie Harper Allen's liveliest diary entries and most colourful letters, chosen by social historian Mary Biggar Peck. Illustrated with photographs and drawings, including some of Sadie's own, this book offers an authentic glimpse into the life of a young woman in turn-of-the-century Canada. In the 1890s, a girl in a small Canadian town like Shediac, New Brunswick, didn't have much to do - except tease boys, learn to draw and paint, go visiting on the train, and spend hilarious evenings playing parlour games and singing around the piano. Throughout her teenage years, Sadie Harper kept a diary, faithfully or fitfully, depending on her physical and romantic health of her household duties. As a young woman, she wrote of her experiences at Mount Allison Ladies' College. Many years later, on a trip to England with her husband, University of Manitoba professor Frank Allen, Sadie regaled her mother and sisters with news of social engagements, London fashions and the people she encountered."--www.doullbooks.com.".
