John Asterly, the hero of A FLOWER OF MONTEREY, came to the Californias from Boston. He is perhaps thirty years old, adventurous and impetuous. At a dance on the beach at Monterey, shortly after his arrival in the Californias, he meets Pajarita, "the Flower of Monterey," and falls in love with the girl, although she is promised to her benefactor, the Spanish Governor. On the very night before her wedding, Asterly tries to dissuade Pajarita from her marriage with some one other than an American, and then the romance, rivalry and adventure begin. The historical setting of the story is correct and the romance unfolds with dash and symmetry. WILD WINGS Margaret R. Piper Author of "Sylvia's Experiment," "The House on the Hill," "Sylvia Arden Decides," etc. Cloth decorative, 12mo, illustrated, $1.90 In this "story of youth for grown-ups," the vigorous, happy Holiday youngsters who lived in the "House on the Hill" develop into keen, lovable young people, thoroughly worth knowing. To Tony, as brilliant and beautiful as a girl can well be and still be human, comes a successful theatrical career on Broadway, and a great love, and Larry grows into the industrious, reliant young doctor that one would expect him to be. Few writers today display the ability which Miss Piper does to "grow up" a large family of boys and girls, each with an individuality well developed and attractive, and her Holiday family holds a distinctive place in American fiction for young people today. As the charming characters work their way out of problems which face all young people of buoyant spirits and ambitions, WILD WINGS gives a definite message as to the happiest relationship between old and young. "There is a world of human nature and neighborhood contentment in Margaret R. Piper's books of good cheer. Her tales are well proportioned and subtly strong in their literary aspects and quality." _North American, Philadelphia._ Selections from The Page Company's List of Fiction WORKS OF ELEANOR H. PORTER POLLYANNA: The GLAD Book (500,000) (Trade Mark) Cloth decorative, 12mo, illustrated, $1.90 Mr. Leigh Mitchell Hodges, The Optimist, in an editorial for the _Philadelphia North American_, says: "And when, after Pollyanna has gone away, you get her letter saying she is going to take 'eight steps' tomorrow--well, I don't know just what you may do, but I know of one person who buried his face in his hands and shook with the gladdest sort of sadness and got down on his knees and thanked the Giver of all gladness for Pollyanna."
