of her father from unlawful imprisonment, all combine to
form a story of exceptional interest and merit. Considerable information
concerning animal and plant life is interwoven with the story.
=MY LADY BAREFOOT=. By EVELYN RAYMOND. Illustrated by IDA WAUGH. A
beautifully told story of the trials of a little backwoods girl who lives
in a secluded place with an eccentric uncle, until his death. The
privations she undergoes during his life-time, her search for other
relatives, her rather uncongenial abode with them, her return to her
early home to acquire her uncle's estate, and thus to enjoy a useful and
happy life, form a most interesting narrative of a girl whose ruggedness
and simplicity of character must appeal to the admiration of all
readers.
