This is the best for reading aloud of the three historical tales by these ladies. It begins with a child wedding in the days of Charles II. The little bride (a Countess) is sent to school at Taunton, where the mistress, a Huguenot, is enthusiastic in Monmouth’s cause, and the poor girls are among ‘the maids of Taunton.’ The young husband intercedes, but goes into banishment with the Jacobites, and his wife has in after times to procure his pardon, after which they begin their married life. The book has been found very attractive to children. =83. The White Chapel.= By ESMÉ STUART. (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._ A dreamy child’s adventure, very prettily told, connecting the little white curtained bed with the white chantry chapel in a cathedral. =84. The Carved Cartoon.= By AUSTIN CLARE. (S.P.C.K.) 4_s._ This has been much enjoyed when read aloud to somewhat intelligent Sunday-school children in the country, and Londoners always like it. The title is unfortunate, for a cartoon cannot be carved, and what is meant is a copy of a cartoon made by Grinling Gibbons, whose adventures in the Plague and Fire of London are made very interesting. =85. Ivo and Verena.= (Masters) 2_s._ A beautiful little Fouqué-like tale of early Christianity in the North. =86. Peggy and other Tales.= By FLORENCE MONTGOMERY. (Cassell) 2_s._ This may be useful where temperance tales are required, though we rather wonder at the father who chose such a subject to amuse his little children. =87. The Ambition of Kate Hicks.= (S.P.C.K.) 4_d._ Useful for girls going out to service. =88. The Grey House on the Hill.= By the Hon. Mrs. GREENE. (Nelson) 2_s._ 6_d._ A lonely page-boy falsely accused. =89. I must keep the Chimes going.= By Miss ELLIOT. (Seeley) 1_s._ 6_d._ A very beautiful story of a girl in a hard place, but with a cheerful spirit. =90. Friarswood Post Office.= By C. M. YONGE. (Walter Smith) 2_s._ 6_d._ A history of a workhouse lad, founded on fact. =91. The Pink Silk Handkerchief.= (Walter Smith) 2_d._ A useful tale of deceit and vanity. =92. The Girls of Flaxby.= By C. R. COLERIDGE. (Walter Smith) 2_s._ Pupil-teachers shown in a manner useful to them and still more so to those who have to deal with them. =93. Lads and Lasses of Langley.= By C. M. YONGE. 2_s._ (See No. 28.) Stories of village life, chiefly for the elder children; curiosity and a few other follies shown up. =94. Polly Spanker’s Green Feather.= By Mrs. WALFORD. (S.P.C.K.) 4_d._ Droll disaster with finery. =95. Sowing and Sewing.= By C. M. YONGE. (W. Smith) 1_s._ 6_d._ An endeavour practically to illustrate the Parable of the Sower. =96. Stories of Youth and Childhood.= (Walter Smith) 2_s._ These first appeared in the ‘Magazine for the Young,’ and are very good. Phœbe, who is sent to the hospital, is our special favourite. =97. Copsley Annals.= By Miss ELLIOT. (Seeley) 1_s._ 6_d._
