By Popular Authors. * * * * * AN AMERICAN GIRL ABROAD. By ADELINE F. TRAFTON. 16mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50. One of the most bright, chatty, wide-awake books of travel ever written. It abounds in information, is as pleasant reading as a story book, and full of the wit and sparkle of "An American Girl" let loose from school and ready for a frolic. ONLY GIRLS. By VIRGINIA F. TOWNSEND, Author of "That Queer Girl," &c., &c. 12mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50. "It is a thrilling story, written in a fascinating style, and the plot is adroitly handled." It might be placed in any Sabbath School library, so pure is it in tone, and yet it is so free from the mawkishness and silliness that mar the class of books usually found there, that the veteran novel reader is apt to finish it at a sitting. THE DOCTOR'S DAUGHTER. By SOPHIE MAY, Author of "Our Helen," "The Asbury Twins," &c. 12mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50. "A delightful book, original and enjoyable," says the _Brownville Echo_. "A fascinating story, unfolding, with artistic touch, the young life of one of our impulsive, sharp-witted, transparent and pure-minded girls of the nineteenth century," says _The Contributor_, Boston. SALLY WILLIAMS. =The Mountain Girl.= By Mrs. EDNA D. CHENEY, Author of "Patience," "Social Games," "The Child of the Tide," &c. 12mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50. Pure, strong, healthy, just what might be expected from the pen of so gifted a writer as Mrs. Cheney. A very interesting picture of life among the New Hampshire hills, enlivened by the tangle of a story of the ups and downs of every-day life in this out-of-the-way locality. The characters introduced are quaintly original, and the adventures are narrated with remarkable skill. LOTTIE EAMES. =Or, do your best and leave the rest.= By a Popular Author. 16mo, illus. $1.50. "A wholesome story of home life, full of lessons of self-sacrifice, but always bright and attractive in its varied incidents."
