can write, and we know not where
to look for two more choice and beautiful volumes--Susie for girls and
Horace for boys. They are not only amusing and wonderfully entertaining,
but teach most effective lessons of patience, kindness, and
truthfulness. Our readers will find a good deal in them about Prudy, for
so many things are always happening to her that the author finds it
impossible to keep her out."

and Prudy had a mind to try the Jewish flatirons; so, with Barbara's
leave, she smoothed out some handkerchiefs on a chair."]

LITTLE PRUDY'S STORY BOOK.

"This story book is a great favorite with the little folks, for it
contains just such stories as they like to hear their aunt and older
sister tell; and learn them by heart and tell them over to one another
as they set out the best infant tea-set, or piece a baby-quilt, or dress
dolls, or roll marbles. A book to put on the book-shelf in the playroom
where Susie and Prudy, Captain Horace, Cousin Grace, and all the rest of
the 'Little Prudy' folks are kept."--Vermont Record.

LITTLE PRUDY'S COUSIN GRACE.

"An exquisite picture of little-girl life at school and at home, and
gives an entertaining account of a secret society which originated in
the fertile brain of Grace, passed some comical resolutions at first,
but was finally converted into a Soldier's Aid Society. Full of life,
and fire, and good advice; the latter sugar-coated, of course, to suit
the taste of little folks."--Press.

LITTLE PRUDY'S DOTTY DIMPLE.

"Dotty Dimple is the plague of Prudy's life, and yet she loves her
dearly. Both are rare articles in juvenile literature, as real as Eva
and Topsy of 'Uncle Tom' fame. Witty and wise, full of sport and study,
sometimes mixing the two in a confusing way, they ran bubbling through
many volumes, and make everybody wish they could never grow up or
change, they are so bright and cute."

[Illustration: LITTLE PRUDY'S CAPTAIN HORACE.]

"You wide-awake little boys, who make whistles of willow, and go fishing
and training,--Horace is very much like you, I suppose. He is by no
means perfect, but he is brave and kin
