THIS is considerably longer than the other
books by this favorite writer, and with a
more elaborate plot, but it has the same winsome
quality throughout. It introduces the
heroine in New York as a little girl of eight,
but soon passes over six years and finds her at
a select family boarding school in Connecticut.
An important part of the story also takes place
at the Profile House in the White Mountains.
The charm of school-girl friendship is finely
brought out, and the kindness of heart, good
sense and good taste which find constant expression
in the books by Miss Rhoades do not
lack for characters to show these best of
qualities by their lives. Other less admirable
persons of course appear to furnish the alluring mystery, which is not
all cleared up until the very last.
"There will be no better book than this to put into the hands of a girl in her teens and none that will be better appreciated by her."—Kennebec Journal. |

THIS book is the product of years of study
and the practical trying-out of every conceivable
form of indoor entertainment. All the
games, tricks, puzzles, and rainy-day and social-evening
diversions have been practised by the

improved by his intelligence. All are told in the
plainest possible way, and with excellent taste.
The book is well arranged and finely printed. At
a low price it places within the reach of all the
very best of bright and jolly means of making
home what it ought to be—the best place for a good time by those of all
ages. |

LOUISE and her three brothers are the "Four
Gordons," and the story relates their experiences
at home and school during the absence
of their parents for a winter in Italy. There
is plenty of fun and frolic, with skating, coasting,
dancing, and a jolly Christmas visit. The
conversation is bright and natural, the book
presents no improbable situations, its atmosphere
is one of refinement, and it has the merit
of depicting simple and wholesome comradeship
between boys and girls.
"The story and its telling are worthy of Miss Alcott. Young folks of both sexes will enjoy it."—N. Y. Sun. "It is a hearty, wholesome story of youthful life in which the morals are never explained but simply illustrated by logical results."—Christian Register. |
UNCLE DAVID'S BOYS
Illustrated by John Goss 12mo Cloth
Price $1.35 net
THIS tells how some young people whom circumstances
brought together in a little mountain
village spent a summer vacation, full of good
times, but with some unexpected and rather mysterious
occurrences. In the end, more than one
head was required to find out exactly what was
going on. The story is a wholesome one with a
pleasant, well-bred atmosphere, and though it
holds the interest, it never approaches the sensational
nor passes the bounds of the probable.
"A story which will hold the attention of youthful readers from cover to cover and prove not without its interest for older readers."—Evening Wisconsin. "For those young people who like a lively story with some unmistakably old fashioned characteristics, 'Uncle David's Boys,' will have a strong appeal."—Churchman. |

HERE is the "real thing" in a girl's
college story. Older authors can invent
situations and supply excellently written
general delineations of character, but all
lack the vital touch of this work of a bright
young recent graduate of a well-known
college for women, who has lost none of the
enthusiasm felt as a student. Every activity
of a popular girl's first year is woven into a
narrative, photographic in its description of
a life that calls into play most attractive
qualities, while at the same time severely
testing both character and ability. |

The progress of the "Randy Books" has been one continual triumph over the hearts of girls of all ages, for dear little fun-loving sister Prue is almost as much a central figure as Randy, growing toward womanhood with each book. The sterling good sense and simple naturalness of Randy, and the total absence of slang and viciousness, make these books in the highest degree commendable, while abundant life is supplied by the doings of merry friends, and there is rich humor in the droll rural characters. |
