MARION'S VACATION
By NINA RHOADES
Illustrated by Bertha G. Davidson 12mo Cloth $1.25
[Illustration]
THIS book is for the older girls, Marion being thirteen. She has for ten
years enjoyed a luxurious home in New York with the kind lady who feels
that the time has now come for this aristocratic though lovable little
miss to know her own nearest kindred, who are humble but most excellent
farming people in a pretty Vermont village. Thither Marion is sent for a
summer, which proves to be a most important one to her in all its
lessons.
"More wholesome reading for half grown girls it
would be hard to find; some of the same lessons
that proved so helpful in that classic of the last
generation 'An Old Fashioned Girl' are brought
home to the youthful readers of this sweet and
sensible story."--_Milwaukee Free Press._
