good stories in this book, instead of one, and it
is hard to say which little girls, and boys, too,
for that matter, will like the best.

Brave Little Peggy

Peggy comes from California to New Jersey to live
with a brother and sister whom she has not known
since very early childhood. She is so democratic
in her social ideas that many amusing scenes
occur, and it is hard for her to understand many
things that she must learn. But her good heart
carries her through, and her conscientiousness and
moral courage win affection and happiness.

The Other Sylvia

[Illustration]

Eight-year-old Sylvia learns that girls who are
"Kings' Daughters" pledge themselves to some kind
act or service, and that one little girl named
Mary has taken it upon herself to be helpful to
all the Marys of her acquaintance. This is such an
interesting way of doing good that she adopts it
in spite of her unusual name, and really finds not
only "the other Sylvia," but great happiness.

TOP-OF-THE-WORLD STORIES

=Translated from the Scandinavian Languages=

=By EMILIE POULSSON and LAURA POULSSON=

=Illustrated in two colors by Florence Liley Young=

=Price, Net, $1.25=

[Illustration]

These stories of magic and adventure come from the countries at the
"top of the world," and will transport thither in fancy the children who
read this unusual book. They tell of Lapps and reindeer (even a
golden-horned reindeer!), of prince and herd-boy, of knights and wolves
and trolls, of a boy who could be hungry and merry at the same time--of
all these and more besides! Miss Poulsson's numerous and long visits to
Norway, her father's land, and the fact that she is an experienced
writer for children are doubtless the reasons why her translations are
sympathetic and skilful, and yet entirely adapted to give wholesome
pleasure to the young public that she knows so well.

"In these stories are the elements of wonder and
magic and adventure that furnish the thrill so
much appreciated by boys and girls ten or twelve
years
