_STORIES FOR GIRLS_
_The Ferry Maid of the Chattahoochee_
_By Annie M. Barnes_ _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_
An heroic little Georgia girl, in her father's extremity, takes charge
of his ferry, and through many vicissitudes and several impending
calamities, succeeds in carrying out her purpose of supporting her
invalid parent and his family. The heroine's cheerfulness and hearty
good humor, combined with an unflinching zeal in her determination to
accomplish her work, make a character which cannot fail to appeal to
young people.
_A Maid of the First Century_
_By Lucy Foster Madison_ _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_
A little maid of Palestine goes in search of her father, who, for
political reasons, has been taken as a slave to Rome. She is
shipwrecked in the Mediterranean, but is rescued by a passing vessel
bound for Britain. Eventually an opportunity is afforded her for going
to Rome, where, after many trying and exciting experiences, she and
her father are united and his liberty is restored to him.
_My Lady Barefoot_
_By Mrs. Evelyn Raymond_ _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_
A beautifully told story of the trials of a little backwoods girl who
lives in a secluded place with an eccentric uncle, until his death.
The privations she undergoes during his life-time, her search for
other relatives, her rather uncongenial abode with them, her return to
her early home to acquire her uncle's estate, and thus to enjoy a
useful and happy life, form a most interesting narrative of a girl
whose ruggedness and simplicity of character must appeal to the
admiration of all readers.
_Dorothy Day_
_By Julie M. Lippmann_ _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_
This is a most interesting story of a bright and spirited young girl
whose widowed mother re-marries. The impulsive girl chafes under the
new relationship, being unwilling to share with another the bounteous
love of her mother which she had learned to claim wholly for her own.
By the exercise of great tact and kindness, the obdurate Dorothy is at
last won over, and becomes a most estimable girl.
_Miss Wildfire_
_By Julie M. Lippmann_ _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_
The story of a governess' attempt to win the love and confidence of
her ward, who, owing to a lack of early restraint, is inclined to be
somewhat of a hoyden. The development of the girl's character and her
eventual victory over her turbulent disposition combine to form a
story of unusual merit and one which will hold its reader's eager
attention throughout.
"A story of girls for girls that teaches a moral without labeling or
tagging it at the end."--_Western Christian Advocate_, Cincinnati, O.
_An Odd Little Lass_
_By Jessie E. Wright_ _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_
