World War, 1914-1918 -- United States -- Juvenile fiction
It is a story of the making of the Ohio frontier, much of it taken
from life, and the heroine one of the famous Zane family after which
Zanesville, O., takes its name. An accurate, pleasing, and yet at times
intensely thrilling picture of the stirring period of border settlement.
_A Lassie of the Isles_
This is the romantic story of Flora Macdonald, the lassie of Skye, who
aided in the escape of Charles Stuart, otherwise known as the “Young
Pretender.”
_Polly of the Pines_
The events of the story occur in the years 1775-82. Polly was an orphan
living with her mother’s family, who were Scotch Highlanders, and for
the most part intensely loyal to the Crown. Polly finds the glamor
of royal adherence hard to resist, but her heart turns towards the
patriots and she does much to aid and encourage them.

Girls of the Morning-Glory Camp Fire
By ISABEL HORNIBROOK
Author of “Camp and Trail”
Illustrated in two colors by John Goss
12mo Cloth
[Illustration]
The sensibly helpful and patriotic organization called the Camp Fire
Girls is spreading with wonderful rapidity because it is based on the
right elements to appeal both to girls and their parents. Though having
a basis of Camp Fire work, which the author thoroughly understands,
this book can be enjoyed by any one. The “Morning-Glory Camp Fire”
finds its summer home on one of the most picturesque portions of the
New England Coast, and the author’s exceptional knowledge of matters
connected with the sea adds much interest to the story. A sparkling
style, rich humor, and wealth of incident are conspicuous.
“This is a book to be welcomed by those who find much truth in
the off-hand statement that it is ‘hard to find good reading for
growing girls.’”--_Bee, Omaha._
“The story is entertaining, the characters drawn with
naturalness, the incidents both amusing and pertinent. Good
reading for girls of the secondary school age.”--_Columbus
Despatch._
