DEAR PANSY:
I like our magazine very much. I am eleven years old. I recited a piece
at school that I learned from THE PANSY. It was very much liked. I
am going to have my magazines bound. I like the story “My Brainless
Acquaintance” almost better than anything else. My little sister enjoys
the pictures. I thought the last number was _never_ going to come!
Don’t you think a month is a long time to wait? Good-by.
FLORENCE ROBINSON.
A FAMILY FLIGHT THROUGH SPAIN.
DID you carefully read what I said about the Horners in their flight
through Egypt and Syria? And do you remember it in detail, as to price,
appearance, etc? No, of course you don’t. Who ever heard of these giddy
girls and boys remembering anything for a month? Oh! Oh! I can hear
your indignant voices. Well, that is too bad; and I believe in my heart
as many of you as sent for the book and read it, have a very vivid and
delightful memory of the family and their experiences. But for the
benefit of the new Pansies, and of those who could not or did not
send for the other book, let me introduce you to this one by the same
authors, and offer it to you on the same excellent terms: one dollar
and twenty cents, if you are willing to have it bound in boards, and
one dollar and fifty cents if you want it in cloth. Remember, that is
a dollar cheaper than any others can get it; a special offer to the
members of the P. S.
I had no idea that Spain was so interesting a country until I travelled
with the Horners. I think now that it makes a very great difference
about one’s enjoyment in travelling, who their companions are. I am
very fond of Bessie Horner, and for that matter of Tommy himself, while
Mr. Hervey is fully as good a friend of mine as he is of the other
travellers. This beautiful book which gives the story of the flight
through Spain, is very fully illustrated, giving one an excellent
idea of the country, its birds, its fruits, its buildings, etc. For
instance, take this description of
THE ALHAMBRA.
