THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS SERIES By LILLIAN ELIZABETH ROY Handsomely Bound. Colored Wrappers. Illustrated. For Children 6 to 12 Years This series presents early American history in a manner that impresses the young readers. Because of George and Martha Washington Parke, two young descendants of the famous General Washington, these stories follow exactly the life of the great American, by means of playing they act the life of the Washingtons, both in battles and in society.

The culprits listen intently, for this reading generally gives them new ideas for further games of Indian warfare and Colonists' battles. THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS RELATIVES The Davis children visit the Parke home and join zealously in the games of playing General Washington. So zealously, in fact, that little Jim almost loses his scalp. THE LITTLE WASHINGTONS' TRAVELS The children wage a fierce battle upon the roof of a hotel in New York City. Then, visiting the Davis home in Philadelphia, the patriotic Washingtons vanquish the Hessians on a battle-field in the empty lot back of the Davis property.
