The highest ideals of girlhood as advocated
by the foremost organizations of America
form the background for these stories and while
unobtrusive there is a message in every volume.
1. THE GIRL SCOUT PIONEERS
or Winning the First B. C.
A story of the True Tred Troop in a Pennsylvania
town. Two runaway girls, who
want to see the city, are reclaimed through
troop influence. The story is correct in scout
detail.

or Maid Mary's Awakening
The story of a timid little maid who is afraid to take part in
other girls' activities, while working nobly alone for high ideals.
How she was discovered by the Bellaire Troop and came into her
own as "Maid Mary" makes a fascinating story.
3. THE GIRL SCOUTS AT SEA CREST

seclusion, and Kitty Scuttle, a grotesque figure, succeeds in keeping
all others at bay until the Girl Scouts come.
4. THE GIRL SCOUTS AT CAMP COMALONG
or Peg of Tamarack Hills
The girls of Bobolink Troop spend their summer on the shores of
Lake Hocomo. Their discovery of Peg, the mysterious rider, and
the clearing up of her remarkable adventures afford a vigorous plot.

Nora Blair is the pampered daughter of a frivolous mother. Her
dislike for the rugged life of Girl Scouts is eventually changed to
appreciation, when the rescue of little Lucia, a woodland waif,
becomes a problem for the girls to solve.

NOBODY'S
GIRL
————————
By HECTOR MALOT
————————
NOBODY'S GIRL, published in France under the title
"En Famille," follows "Nobody's Boy" as a companion
juvenile story, and takes place with it as one of the
supreme juvenile stories of the world. Like "Nobody's
Boy" it was also crowned by the Academy, and that
literary judgment has also been verified by the test of
time.
Noble-minded little Perrine, left destitute and alone in the
slums of Paris, must find her rich grandfather, several days'
journey away, or no one knows what might happen to her.
Even when she finds him, in the midst of his great factories, he
may hate her because he had driven her father away from home
and disinherited him. How she had the courage to go on and
on until she reached Maraucourt, and obtained work in her
grandfather's factory, and at last found a way into his heart, is
through every step a story of the most absorbing interest to all
lovers of childhood. She triumphs over all discomforts, perils
and schemers with a firm faith in right things, and the perseverance
of one unable to do wrong things. This disposition at
last enables her to work great benefits for the people and ensures
her the happiness of life lived at its best. This is one of the
greatest of inspirational stories.
Loyal ideals, with their inspiring sentiments, are preserved
through the most discouraging conditions. The
building up of a little girl's life is made a fine example for
every child.
