_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 re-marries. 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.
_Miss Wildfire_
_By Julie M. Lippmann_, _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_
The story of a governess' attempt to win the love and confidence of her
ward, who, owing to a lack of early restraint, is inclined to be
somewhat of a hoyden. The development of the girl's character and her
eventual victory over her turbulent disposition combine to form a story
of unusual merit and one which will hold its reader's eager attention
throughout.
"A story of girls for girls that teaches a moral without labeling or
tagging it at the end."—Western Christian Advocate, Cincinnati, O.
