Greek life and customs is woven
interestingly into the fabric of this tale. The battles of Marathon
and Salamis are fought anew for the children by old men who were
participants therein, and the Isthmian games are also described.

COOLIDGE, SUSAN (Pseudonym of S.C. Woolsey).
What Katy Did.
Little. 1.25

TO FIVE

Six of us once, my darlings, played together
Beneath green boughs, which faded long ago,
Made merry in the golden summer weather,
Pelted each other with new-fallen snow.
. . . . . . . . . . .
So, darlings, take this little childish story,
In which some gleams of the old sunshine play,
And, as with careless hands you turn the pages,
Look back and smile, as here I smile to-day.

This account of the lively doings of the six little Carrs is full of
action and interest. In the midst of her happy life poor Katy has to
stop and learn, through the invalidism which comes as the result of an
accident, the great lessons of patience, cheerfulness, and living for
others. Happily, in the end, after her battle has been won, full
health returns to her.
