JEAN CABOT AT ASHTON
[Illustration]
Here is the “real thing” in a girl’s college story. Older authors can
invent situations and supply excellently written general delineations
of character, but all lack the vital touch of this work of a bright
young recent graduate of a well-known college for women, who has lost
none of the enthusiasm felt as a student. Every activity of a popular
girl’s first year is woven into a narrative, photographic in its
description of a life that calls into play most attractive qualities,
while at the same time severely testing both character and ability.
JEAN CABOT IN THE BRITISH ISLES
This is a college story, although dealing with a summer vacation, and
full of college spirit. It begins with a Yale-Harvard boat race at New
London, but soon Jean and her room-mate sail for Great Britain under
the chaperonage of Miss Hooper, a favorite member of the faculty at
Ashton College. Their trip is full of the delight that comes to the
traveler first seeing the countries forming “our old home.”
JEAN CABOT IN CAP AND GOWN
Jean Cabot is a superb young woman, physically and mentally, but
thoroughly human and thus favored with many warm friendships. Her final
year at Ashton College is the culmination of a course in which study,
sport and exercise, and social matters have been well balanced.
JEAN CABOT AT THE HOUSE WITH THE BLUE SHUTTERS
Such a group as Jean and her most intimate friends could not scatter at
once, as do most college companions after graduation, and six of them
under the chaperonage of a married older graduate and member of the
same sorority spend a most eventful summer in a historic farm-house in
Maine.
