Seven Daughters. By AMANDA M. DOUGLAS. Price $1.50.
The "Seven" are daughters of a country clergyman who is not greatly
blessed with the good things of the world. The story is related by the
eldest, who considers herself far from brilliant or witty, but who
makes charming pictures of all who figure in the book. The good
minister consents to receive a number of bright boys as pupil-boarders,
and the two families make a suggestive counterpoise, with mutual
advantage. Destiny came with the coming of the boys, and the story has
naturally a happy end.
The Foes of her Household. By AMANDA M. DOUGLAS. Price $1.50.
"This is an exceedingly entertaining book. A simple girl, of beautiful
character, marries a young man in poor health out of pure love, and
ignorant of the fact that he is rich. His death occurs not very long
after the marriage, and the young widow becomes the object of practical
persecution by his relatives, who misunderstand her motives entirely.
With a nobility of character, as rare as beautiful, she destroys their
prejudice, and at last teaches them to love her."--_Central Baptist,
St. Louis, Mo._
