=THE BUBBLING TEAPOT.=
By LIZZIE W. CHAMPNEY.
The Girl who doesn’t thoroughly enjoy the story of the curious
experiences of Little Flossy Tangleskein must be a very dull girl
indeed. It is not a fairy story, and yet it is the next thing to it.
One might call it a dream story, for the strange adventures of Flossy
all took place during a series of naps in the studio of an artist
friend, who was using her as a model in painting a picture of a Breton
peasant child. Price $1.25.
=A GIRL’S ROOM.=
By SOME FRIENDS OF THE GIRLS.
Of all the books that have been specially prepared for girls this is
at once the most interesting and most practical. It is not, as one
might perhaps imagine, a story, but, as the title page sets forth,
it contains “plans and designs for work upstairs and down, and
entertainments for herself and friend”; a book, in short, to show girls
how they may make their rooms cosey and attractive with only a small
outlay of money and time and work. Each of the twenty-four chapters
deals with a special subject. Price $1.00.
