=THE LITTLE LADY OF THE FORT=. By ANNIE M. BARNES. Illustrated by HELENE
WOOD. A dramatic story dealing with the struggles of the early French and
Spanish settlers for supremacy in the Carolinas. The heroine is an only
daughter of the French commandant and is enticed from the fort and held
captive by the Spaniards. Her release is finally effected by a young
Spaniard whom she befriended, but not until after she has endured many
severe trials.
=THE FERRY MAID OF THE CHATTAHOOCHEE=. By ANNIE M. BARNES. Illustrated by
IDA WAUGH. An heroic little Georgia girl, in her father's extremity,
takes charge of his ferry, and through many vicissitudes and several
impending calamities, succeeds in carrying out her purpose of supporting
her invalid parent and his family. The heroine's cheerfulness and hearty
good humor, combined with an unflinching zeal in her determination to
accomplish her work, show a character which cannot fail to appeal to
young people.
=DOROTHY DAY=. By JULIE M. LIPPMANN. Illustrated by IDA WAUGH. This is a
most interesting story of a bright and spirited young girl whose widowed
mother remarries. The impulsive girl chafes under the new relationship,
being unwilling to share with another the bounteous love of her mother
which she had learned to claim wholly for her own. By the exercise of
great tact and kindness, the obdurate Dorothy is at last won over, and
becomes a most estimable girl.
