With the aid of an experienced craftswoman, A. Neely Hall, who is in a class by himself as a thoroughly reliable teacher of handicraft, every operation that he describes being first practically worked out by himself, and every working drawing presented being original, new, and actual, has opened the door for the great and constantly increasing number of girls who like to “make things.” Such girls see no reason why the joy of mechanical work should be restricted to their brothers, and with this book it need no longer be. The first part of the book is devoted to a great variety of indoor craft that can be followed in autumn and winter, while the second part, “Spring and Summer Handicraft,” deals with many attractive forms of outdoor life, including an entire chapter on the activities of “Camp Fire Girls.” “This book will be hailed with delight by all girls who have a mechanical turn.”—Watchman-Examiner. “Girls will love just such a book and will find interest for every day of the year in it.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. “Triumphs of ingenuity never dreamed of are to be found in this volume of handicraft that girls can make, but its chief charm is to be found in the practical value of most of the things to be made.”—Lexington Herald.

HALSEY Illustrated Cloth $1.50 each BLUE ROBIN, THE GIRL PIONEER Nathalie Page is just such a girl of sixteen as one likes to read about. Obliged to exchange affluence in a large city for a modest home in a small one, she develops into capable young womanhood by becoming a member of The Girl Pioneers of America. “Any girl of a dozen years or more, or even less, will enjoy this thoroughly, and anyone, young or old, will be the better for having read it.”—Pittsburgh Times-Gazette. AMERICA’S DAUGHTER [Illustration: image of America’s Daughter book cover] This is a rarely good and inspiring story of girls in a select school in Brooklyn who organize a club called “Daughters of America,” and under the care of a well-liked teacher take a trip to points on the New England coast made famous in our history. One of the girls has been brought up without knowledge of her own family, and so is called “America’s Daughter.” In the course of the trip she unravels the mystery of her birth and all ends happily and profitably. “It is an inspiring story, well told and will be appreciated by girls who love an active, out of doors life.”—Daily Press, Portland, Me.
