y. Yet, wherever there
is fun, and health, and hope, and happiness--and I think,
wherever there is truthfulness and generosity--there is Gypsy,
too.--_Preface._
PHELPS, E.S. (Mrs. E.S. (P.) WARD).
Gypsy's Cousin Joy.
Dodd. 1.50
Gypsy didn't want Joy to come and live with them at all, neither did
she care for her at first, but through forbearance, gentleness, and
Joy's great sorrow, they grew to love each other warmly.
SEAWELL, M.E.
@Little Jarvis.
Appleton. 1.00
The hero, midshipman on the Constellation, in the fight between that
ship and the French frigate Vengeance, gave his life with notable
bravery in the service of his country.
SMITH, M.P. (W.).
Jolly Good Times at Hackmatack.
Little. 1.25
A faithful description of farm life among the hills of Western
Massachusetts seventy-five years ago.
Before these times become wholly traditional, it seems good to
picture them, as vividly as may be, for the benefit of the young
folks who will grow up under influences differing so widely from
those that shaped the youth of their ancestors.... They, and (p. 139)
such as they, made the old New England the New England of glorious
history and memories.--_Preface._
SMITH, N.A.
Three Little Marys.
Houghton. .85
Little girls of our own country will enjoy reading these three
sketches which tell of faithful Gypsy Mairi of Scotland, English Molly
of Sussex, and Irish Maureen. Each one of the three is natural,
lovable, and worth knowing.
STOWE, H.B.
Little Pussy Willow.
Houghton. 1.25
This old-fashioned story of the country mouse and the city mouse
possesses charm, and abounds in homely common-sense. Mothers,
fortunately, no longer bring up their daughters in the foolish way in
which Emily Proudie was reared. The second story is included only
because there is no other edition of Pussy Willow.
ZOLLINGER, GULIELMA (Pseudonym of WILLIAM Z. GLAD WIN).
*The Widow O'Callaghan's Boys.
Illustrated by Florence Scovel Shinn.
McClurg. 1.50
An account of seven lads, who, after their father's death, help their
brave little mother to keep the family together. Simply told; full of
sterling common-sense and unselfish precept. The colored illustrations
are delightful.
