The most delightful book on the list for the children of the family, being full of adventures and gay home scenes and merry play-times. “Paty” would have done credit to Dickens in his palmiest days. The strange glows and shadows of her character are put in lovingly and lingeringly, with the pencil of a master. Miss Margaret’s character of light is admirably drawn, while Aunt Lesbia, Deacon Harkaway, Tom Dorrance, and the master and mistress of Graythorpe poor-house are genuine “charcoal sketches.” STRIKING FOR THE RIGHT. By _Julia A. Eastman_. Large 16mo. Illustrated 1 75 While this story holds the reader breathless with expectancy and excitement, its civilizing influence in the family is hardly to be estimated. In all quarters it has met with the warmest praise. THE ROMNEYS OF RIDGEMONT. By _Julia A. Eastman_. 16mo. Illustrated 1 50 BEULAH ROMNEY. By _Julia A. Eastman_. 16 mo. Illustrated 1 50 Two stories wondrously alive, flashing with fun, sparkling with tears, throbbing with emotion. The next best thing to attending Mrs. Hale’s big boarding-school is to read Beulah’s experience there. SHORT-COMINGS AND LONG-GOINGS. By _Julia A. Eastman_. 16 mo. Illustrated 1 25 A remarkable book, crowded with remarkable characters. It is a picture gallery of human nature. KITTY KENT’S TROUBLES. _By Julia A. Eastman_. 16 mo. Illustrated 1 50 “A delicious April-day style of book, sunshiny with smiles on one page while the next is misty with tender tears. Almost every type of American school-girl is here represented—the vain Helen Dart, the beauty, Amy Searle, the ambitious, high bred, conservative Anna Matson; but next to Kitty herself sunny little Pauline Sedgewick will prove the general favorite. It is a story fully calculated to win both girls and boys toward noble, royal ways of doing little as well as great things. All teachers should feel an interest in placing it in the hands of their pupils.” “MISS FARMAN has the very desirable knack of imparting valuable ideas under the guise of a pleasing story.”—_The New Century._ MRS. HURD’S NIECE. By _Ella Farman_. Ill. $1 50 A thrilling story for the girls, especially for those who think they have a “mission,” to whom we commend sturdy English Hannah, with her small means, and her grand success. Saidee Hurd is one of the sweetest girls ever embalmed in story, and Lois Gladstone one of the noblest. THE COOKING CLUB OF TU-WHIT HOLLOW. By _Ella Farman_. 16 mo. Eight full-page illustrations 1 25
