The
Captain Becky Series
By
MARGARET LOVE SANDERSON
Resourceful, self-reliant, sunny-natured Captain Becky will find many friends among girl readers. The Captain Becky Series is a noteworthy contribution to books for girls—distinctive and individual in every detail, inside and out.
Two very much alive stories of a girl who makes things happen—who is a doer. Whether she is on cruise on the picturesque Indian River in Florida or in laughable masquerade among the old homesteads of New Hampshire, her experiences are worth writing about—and worth reading. Two titles:
| Captain Becky's Winter Cruise. |
| Captain Becky's Masquerade. |

By SUSANNE METCALF
A girls' book with a clever, quick-moving plot is unusual. ANNABEL is that kind. The heroine is a lovable girl, but one with plenty of snap—her red hair testifies to that.
