I have of late become deeply interested in your delightful
little paper, THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, and as I saw many of the
enthusiastic readers writing to you, and asking different
requests, I thought I would follow their example. I use your
little book for different purposes. At school we have to begin
topics, and I get a great deal of information from your little
paper. I also spend many happy moments reading its contents.

I wish you would send me the names of a few good books. I do not
want anything like fairy tales, but something on the order of
"Six Girls," by Miss Irving, or "Little Women"; or I would be
more pleased with the names of a few good boarding-school
stories. I would also like you to explain the relationship
between Noah and Daniel Webster.

Hoping I will receive an answer in a short time, I remain,

Your interested reader,
CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 22d, 1897. GRACE G.

DEAR GRACE:

We are very glad you take pleasure in THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, and that you
find it useful.

We are told by a girl who is fond of reading, that "A World of Girls," by
Mead, is the most delightful school story ever written.

"Jackanapes," "Six to Sixteen," "A Flat-Iron for a Farthing," are all
three by Mrs. Ewing, and are charming books.

"An Old-Fashioned Girl," and Miss Yonge's "Pillars of the House," are both
interesting.

History does not tell us of any close relationship between Noah and Daniel
Webster. EDITOR.

DEAR EDITOR:

I tried "Sylvia's Caramels," and found them very nice.

The other day I went to the Zoo. It is very nice. Chiquita is
twenty-six inches tall and twenty-six years old. She is very
cunning. She slept in a cigar-box up to the time that she was
six years old! The man that told about her said that there was
nothing she disliked more than to be called "dear little thing."

You asked us to tell you about any book that we like. "Timothy's
Quest" is one of my favorite stories, by Kate Douglas Wiggin.
All her stories end well, this one especially. It is very funny,
also.

Will you please send me a "Who? When? What?" chart?

Wishing success to your little paper, I remain,

Your true and constant reader,
