The little Lady Clare inherits the responsibilities of an ancestry and a
family feud, but the estates and title of her father fall to the hated
branch of the family. The child, however, works out for herself the
problem of the divided house, which is at last united again in a romantic
manner.
“Reminds us in its quaintness and tender pathos of Mrs. Ewing’s
delightful tales. The characters are very real and lifelike. Is quite
one of the best stories Miss Green has yet given us.”—_Literary World_.
SARAH TYTLER
A Loyal Little Maid. With 4 page Illustrations by PAUL HARDY. 2_s._ 6_d._
This pretty story is founded on a romantic episode of Mar’s rebellion. A
little girl has information which concerns the safety of her father in
hiding, and this she firmly refuses to divulge to a king’s officer. She is
lodged in the Tolbooth, where she finds a boy champion, whom in future
years she rescues in Paris from the _lettre de cachet_ which would bury
him in the Bastille.
“Has evidently been a pleasure to write, and makes very enjoyable
reading.”—_Literature_.
—Girl Neighbours. With 6 Illustrations. 3_s._
A story for girls, told in that quaint, delightful fashion which has made
Miss Tytler’s books so popular and attractive. The introduction of the two
young ladies from London, who represent the modern institutions of
professional nursing and schools of cookery, is very happily effected.
“One of the most effective and quietly humorous of Miss Sarah Tytler’s
stories. Very healthy, very agreeable, and very well written.”—_The
Spectator_.
ALICE CORKRAN
Margery Merton’s Girlhood. With 6 full-page Illustrations by GORDON
BROWNE. 2_s._ 6_d._
The experiences of an orphan girl who in infancy is left by her father—an
officer in India—to the care of an elderly aunt residing near Paris. The
accounts of the various persons who have an after influence on the story
are singularly vivid.
“_Margery Merton’s Girlhood_ is a piece of true literature, as dainty as
it is delicate, and as sweet as it is simple.”—_Woman’s World_.

The Four Miss Whittingtons: A Story for Girls. With 8 full-page
Illustrations by CHARLES M. SHELDON. 5_s._
This story tells how four sisters, left alone in the world, went to London
to seek their fortunes. They had between them £400, and this they resolved
to spend on training themselves for the different careers for which they
were severally most fitted. On their limited means this was hard work, but
their courageous experiment was on the whole very successful.
“A story of endeavour, industry, and independence of spirit.”—_World_.
