The Unwilling Schoolgirl Illustrated in Colour by JAMES DURDEN. Large crown 8vo, cloth, olivine edges. 5s. Ethne St. Ives passes the first dozen years of her life in luxury at the house of a maiden aunt; but on the death of the latter she is sent to school, very much against her will. At school, she rebels against authority, and is in danger of being universally disliked for her airs and affectations. She makes up her mind that she will not learn anything; that she will not make friends with anybody. At length, however, she learns to appreciate the joys of friendship and the value of corporate spirit, and develops into a very lovable character. "We enjoyed every word of it."--_Nation_. "A capital story for girls."--_Manchester Guardian_. By J. M. WHITFELD Gladys and Jack An Australian Story for Girls. Coloured Illustrations by N. TENISON. Large Crown 8vo, cloth, olivine edges. 5s. Gladys and Jack are sister and brother, and, up to the point when the story opens, they have been the best of friends. Then, however, Gladys puts on a superior air, and adopts a severely proper attitude towards Jack. She goes to spend a holiday up-country, and here, too, her icily-regular line of conduct seems bound to bring her into conflict with her free-and-easy-going cousins. After some trying experiences, Gladys finds herself in a position which enables her, for the time being, to forget her own troubles, and exert all her strength on behalf of the rest. She comes worthily through the ordeal and earns the affection of her cousins, and Jack rejoices in the recovery of a lost sister. By J. M. WHITFELD Tom who was Rachel A Story of Australian Life.

Rachel (otherwise Miss Thompson, abbreviated to "Miss Tom," afterwards to "Tom ") is the children’s step-sister; and it is her influence for good over the wilder elements in their nature that provides the real motive of a story for which all English boys and girls will feel grateful.
