numerous, and often quite exciting. After a time she is transplanted
to the country, where after many thrilling experiences she eventually
grows into a useful and lovable young woman. The story is pleasantly

_Two Wyoming Girls_
_By Mrs. Carrie L. Marshall_ _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_
Two girls, thrown upon their own resources, are obliged to "prove up"
their homestead claim. This would be no very serious matter were it
not for the persecution of an unscrupulous neighbor, who wishes to
appropriate the property to his own use. The girls endure many
privations, have a number of thrilling adventures, but finally secure
their claim and are generally well rewarded for their courage and
perseverance.
_The Girl Ranchers_
_By Mrs. Carrie L. Marshall_ _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_
A story of life on a sheep ranch in Montana. The dangers and
difficulties incident to such a life are vividly pictured, and the
interest in the story is enhanced by the fact that the ranch is
managed almost entirely by two young girls. By their energy and pluck,
coupled with courage, kindness, and unselfishness they succeed in
disarming the animosity of the neighboring cattle ranchers, and their
enterprise eventually results successfully.
_An Every-Day Heroine_
_By Mary A. Denison_ _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_
The heroine is not an impossible character but only a pure, winsome,
earnest girl, who at fourteen years of age is suddenly bereft of
fortune and father and becomes the chief support of a semi-invalid
mother. While there are many touching scenes, the story as a whole is
bright and cheerful and moves forward with a naturalness and ease that
carries its readers along and makes them reluctant to put down the
book until the end is reached.
_Her College Days_
_By Mrs. Clarke Johnson_ _Illustrated by Ida Waugh_
This is a most interesting and healthful tale of a girl's life in a
New England college. The trustful and unbounded love of the heroine
for her mother and the mutual and self-sacrificing devotion of the
mother to the daughter are so beautifully interwoven with the varied
occurrences and exciting incidents of college life as to leave a most
wholesome impression upon the mind and heart of the reader.
