plantation, and as the place was said to be infested with snakes, they
were quite willing to cut their visit short and return to the coast.

ABOVE THE RANGE. A Story for Girls. By Theodora R. Jenness. 315 pp.
Illustrated. Cloth. 12mo. $1.25.

An Indian story for girls. A mission school for the daughters of the
Dakota tribes is most interestingly described. The strange ideas and
beliefs of these wild people are woven into the thread of the story,
which tells how a little white girl was brought up as an Indian child,
educated at a mission school, and was finally discovered by her parents.

SERAPH, THE LITTLE VIOLINISTE. By Mrs. C. V. Jamison. 298 pp.
Illustrated. Cloth, $1,50.

A most charming and delightful story of a little girl who had inherited
a most remarkable musical talent, which found its natural expression
through the medium of the violin. The picturesqueness of Mrs. Jamison's
stories is remarkable, and the reader unconsciously becomes Seraph's
friend and sympathizer in all her trials and triumphs.

ORCUTT GIRLS; or, One Term at the Academy. By Charlotte M. Vaile. 316
pp. Illustrated. Cloth, $1.50.

Mrs. Vaile gives us a story here which will become famous as a
description of a phase of New England educational history which has now
become a thing of the past--with an exception here and there. The
Academy, once the pride and boast of our fathers, has given way to the
High School, and girls and boys of to-day know nothing of the
experiences which "The Orcutt Girls" enjoyed in their "One Term at the
Academy."

MALVERN. A Neighborhood Story. By Ellen Douglas Deland. 341 pp.
Illustrated. Cloth, $1.50.

A most attractive and interesting story by a writer who has won a vast
audience of young people by her stories. Malvern is a small suburban
town in New Jersey. The neighborhood furnishes a queer assortment of
boys and girls. How they felt and acted, what they did, and how they did
it, forms an interesting narrative.

LADY BETTY'S TWINS. By E. M. Waterworth. With 12 illustrations. 116
pp. Cloth, 75 cents.

A quaint little story of a girl--a little girl--who had a propensity for
getting into trouble, because she had not learned the lesson of
obedience. She masters this, however, as the story tells, and in doing
so she and her brother have a number of experiences.
