Little Pem! there was just one moment when I may have been discouraged, you remember! None knew the Wise Woman who saved the city." [Illustration] * * * * * A story of the best type of home life, with a charming heroine. THEN CAME CAROLINE By LELA HORN RICHARDS With illustrations by M. L. Greer. 12mo. Cloth 306 pages. Caroline was the fourth daughter in Doctor Ravenel's family of five girls,--fourth on the list, but first in mischief, in ingenuity, in originality, in human sympathy and democracy. The father's health made it necessary for the Ravenels to leave their old Southern home and migrate to Colorado. Here Caroline grew up--from ten to eighteen--her days full of interest, her courage, as the family struggled along under straightened circumstances, always unflagging. Sometimes the delight and sometimes the despair of her mother and her sisters, Caroline made friends in many quarters and met in unusual ways the many emergencies into which her impulsiveness led her. This is a splendid story of the best type of home life, and the four other girls--Leigh the unselfish, Alison the ambitious and self-seeking, Mayre the artistic and Hope the baby--complete a well-individualized group, alternately caressed and disciplined by old black "Mammy," who had accompanied her "fam'bly" from Virginia. There are plenty of boys in the story too, likable lads, such as inevitably would gather around a group of wholesome and merry girls, ready for a game, a dance or any other frolic. Caroline will be a favorite with girl readers. They will enjoy the account of her running away; her attempt to help her mother form a "social acquaintance" in their new home; her outwitting of Alison at the party; her early literary efforts; and the daring with which she "puts her finger" in nearly everyone's "pie."
