for, while the child is pleasantly employing his time, he is also
improving his mind and developing his character. Nowhere can better
books be found to put into the hands of young people. They are profusely
and handsomely illustrated by the best artists and are well printed on
good paper with exceedingly handsome and durable bindings.

_STORIES FOR GIRLS_
----------
_Earning Her Way_
_By Mrs. Clarke Johnson_, _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_
A charming story of an ambitious girl who overcomes in a most original
manner, many obstacles that stand in the way of securing a college
course. While many of her experiences are of a practical nature and show
a brave, self-reliant spirit some of her escapades and adventures are
most exciting, yet surrounding the whole there is an atmosphere of
refinement and inspiration that is most helpful and pleasing.
_Her College Days_
_By Mrs. Clarke Johnson_, _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_
This is a most interesting and healthful tale of a girl's life in a New
England college. The trustful and unbounded love of the heroine for her
mother and the mutual and self-sacrificing devotion of the mother to the
daughter are so beautifully interwoven with the varied occurrences and
exciting incidents of college life as to leave a most wholesome
impression upon the mind and heart of the reader.
_Two Wyoming Girls_
_By Mrs. Carrie L. Marshall_, _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_
Two girls, thrown upon their own resources, are obliged to "prove up"
their homestead claim. This would be no very serious matter were it not
for the persecution of an unscrupulous neighbor, who wishes to
appropriate the property to his own use. The girls endure many
privations, have a number of thrilling adventures, but finally secure
their claim and are generally well rewarded for their courage and
perseverance.
