World War, 1914-1918 -- United States -- Juvenile fiction
“Any girl of a dozen years or more, or even less, will enjoy this
thoroughly, and anyone, young or old, will be the better for
having read it.”--_Pittsburgh Times-Gazette._
AMERICA’S DAUGHTER
[Illustration]
This is an interesting and inspiring story of girls in a select school
in Brooklyn who organize a club called “Daughters of America,” and
under the care of a well-liked teacher take a trip to points on the
New England coast made famous in our history. One of the girls has
been brought up without knowledge of her own family, and so is called
“America’s Daughter.” In the course of the trip she unravels the
mystery of her birth and all ends happily and profitably.
“It is an inspiring story, well told and will be appreciated by
girls who love an active, out of doors life.”--_Daily Press,
Portland, Me._
THE LIBERTY GIRL
Nathalie Page, seventeen, bright and popular with all her mates, forms
a club called the “Liberty Girls” and enthusiastically does her bit
to help win the war. A surprising invitation to the White Mountains
takes her from organized activity with her companions, but a girl like
Nathalie will not be idle wherever she goes, and in carrying out the
principles of patriotic service she wins great and deserved credit.

HANDICRAFT FOR HANDY GIRLS
By A. NEELY HALL
Author of “The Boy Craftsman,” “Handicraft for Handy Boys,” “The Handy
Boy”
AND DOROTHY PERKINS
Illustrated with photographs and more than 700 diagrams and working
drawings
8vo Cloth Price, $2.50
[Illustration]
With the aid of an experienced craftswoman, A. Neely Hall, who is in
a class by himself as a thoroughly reliable teacher of handicraft,
every operation that he describes being first practically worked
out by himself, and every working drawing presented being original,
new, and actual, has opened the door for the great and constantly
increasing number of girls who like to “make things.” Such girls see
no reason why the joy of mechanical work should be restricted to their
brothers, and with this book it need no longer be. The first part of
the book is devoted to a great variety of indoor craft that can be
followed in autumn and winter, while the second part, “Spring and
Summer Handicraft,” deals with many attractive forms of outdoor life,
including an entire chapter on the activities of “Camp Fire Girls.”
“This book will be hailed with delight by all girls who have a
mechanical turn.”--_Watchman-Examiner._
“Girls will love just such a book and will find interest for
every day of the year in it.”--_St. Louis Globe-Democrat._
“Triumphs of ingenuity never dreamed of are to be found in this
volume of handicraft that girls can make, but its chief charm is
to be found in the practical value of most of the things to be
made.”--_Lexington Herald._
