nd hardships abroad, of her friends, her love
affairs, and finally of Virginia's wedding bells and return to America.
The previous two books in this series have been pronounced excellent and
uplift stories, but "The Violin Lady" is far ahead of both in interest and
charm.

The press has commented on the author's previous stories as follows:

"A delightful story told in a charming manner. The Page Company does a
real service indeed in the publication of so many of these excellent
stories."--Zion's Herald, Boston.

"A thoroughly enjoyable tale, written in a delightful vein of sympathetic
comprehension."--Boston Herald.

THE GIRL FROM THE BIG HORN COUNTRY

By Mary Ellen Chase

12mo, cloth decorative, illustrated by R. Farrington Elwell, net $1.25;
carriage paid $1.40

At the beginning of the story, Virginia Hunter, a bright, breezy,
frank-hearted "girl of the Golden West," comes out of the Big Horn country
of Wyoming to the old Bay State. Then "things begin," when Virginia,--who
feels the joyous, exhilarating call of the Big Horn wilderness and the
outdoor life,--attempts to become acclimated and adopt good old New
England "ways."

Few stories reveal a more attractive heroine, and the joyous spirit of
youth and its happy adventures give the story an unusual charm.

"The book has natural characters, fresh incidents, and a general
atmosphere of sincerity and wholesome understanding of girl nature.
Virginia may well become as popular as 'Miss Billy' or irresistible
Anne."--New York Sun.

A Sequel to "Sylvia's Experiment, The Cheerful Book"

In THE CHEERFUL BOOK Sylvia Arden proved herself a messenger of joy and
cheerfulness to thousands of readers. In this new story she plays the same
role on Arden Hill during her summer vacation and is the same wholesome,
generous, cheerful young lady who made such a success of the Christmas
Party. She befriends sick neighbors, helps "run" a tea-room, brings
together two lovers who have had differences, serves as the convenient
bridesmaid here and the good Samaritan there, and generally acquits
herself in a manner which made of her such a popular heroine in the former
story. There is, of course, a Prince Charming in the background.

"The SYLVIA books should be read by all the exponents of POLLYANNA of THE
