=THE WHIRLIGIG=. By EVELYN RAYMOND. Illustrated by RUTH ROLLINS. She is
called "The Whirligig" because she is so apt to be blown about by her
emotions. It is not until she goes to live with an old aunt and uncle and
is thrown upon her own resources, that she develops a steadier and
stronger character. She is a great comfort to the elderly people, and at
a time when the whole village is threatened with a flood, she rides down
the valley and warns the people of their danger. She is a very natural,
lovable girl, and the story ends all too soon.
=A YANKEE GIRL IN OLD CALIFORNIA=. By EVELYN RAYMOND. Illustrated by IDA
WAUGH. A young girl, reared among most delightful surroundings in
Vermont, suddenly discovers that, owing to a clause in her father's will,
she must make her future home with relatives in the lower portion of old
California. No more interesting experience could come in the life of any
bright, observing girl than that of an existence in this semi-tropical
region, with its wealth of Spanish tradition, its glorious climate, and
its abundance of flowers and foliage.

=A QUAKER MAIDEN=. By EVELYN RAYMOND. Illustrated by IDA WAUGH. A young
girl reared in all the simplicity of a Quaker family is suddenly
transported to the home of a wealthy cousin. She is at first greeted with
derision, but gradually her unfailing gentleness and sterling character
win the respect of her cousins, and at a time of financial disaster she
becomes the reliance of the entire family.
=A DAUGHTER OF THE FOREST=. By EVELYN RAYMOND. Illustrated by IDA WAUGH.
The heroine of this unusual tale resides with her uncle on an island in
the backwoods of Maine, and her exciting adventures, her unique animal
pets, her rescue of her father from unlawful imprisonment, all combine to
form a story of exceptional interest and merit. Considerable information
concerning animal and plant life is interwoven with the story.
=MY LADY BAREFOOT=. By EVELYN RAYMOND. Illustrated by IDA WAUGH. A
beautifully told story of the trials of a little backwoods girl who lives
in a secluded place with an eccentric uncle, until his death. The
privations she undergoes during his life-time, her search for other
relatives, her rather uncongenial abode with them, her return to her
early home to acquire her uncle's estate, and thus to enjoy a useful and
happy life, form a most interesting narrative of a girl whose ruggedness
and simplicity of character must appeal to the admiration of all
readers.
