SOPHIE MAY'S "LITTLE-FOLKS" BOOKS
[Illustration: "As Dotty seized two locks of the Major's hair, one in
each hand, and pulled them both as if she meant to draw them out by the
roots, out they came! Yes, entirely out; and more than that, all the
rest of his hair came too. His head was left as smooth as an apple. You
see how it was. He wore a wig, and just for play had slyly unfastened
it, and allowed Miss Dotty to pull it off. The perfect despair of her
little face amused him vastly, but he did not smile; he looked very
severe. 'See what you have done,' said he. Major Laydie's entire head of
hair lay at her feet, as brown and wavy as ever it was. Dotty looked at
it with horror. The idea of scalping a man."

DOTTY DIMPLE AT SCHOOL.
"Miss Dotty is a peremptory little body, with a great deal of human
nature in her, who wins our hearts by her comic speeches and funny ways.
She complains of being bewitched by people, and the wind 'blows her
out,' and she thinks if her comrade dies in the snow-storm she will be
'dreadfully 'shamed of it,' and has rather a lively time with all her
trials in going to school."--New York Citizen.
DOTTY DIMPLE AT PLAY.
"'Charming Dotty Dimple' as she is so universally styled, has become
decidedly a favorite with young and old, who are alike pleased with her
funny sayings and doings. Dotty At Play will be found very attractive,
and the children, especially the girls, will be delighted with her
adventures."--Boston Express.
DOTTY DIMPLE'S FLYAWAY.
"This is the final volume of the Dotty Dimple Series. It relates how
little Flyaway provisioned herself with cookies and spectacles and got
lost on a little hill while seeking to mount to heaven, and what a
precious alarm there was until she was found, and the subsequent joy at
her recovery, with lots of quaint speeches and funny incidents."--North
American.
"A Little Red Riding-Hoodish story, sprightly and takingly told."
--American Farmer.
