of you," said Emily. "Come on,
girls, let's give the school cheer for the Manasquan Camp Fire!"
They gave it with a will and then Dolly sprang to her feet.
"Now, then, the Wo-he-lo cheer!" she called.
They sang it happily, and then, as they moved toward their own camp,
their voices rose in the good-night song of the Camp Fire: _Lay me to
sleep in sheltering flame_.
"I believe Miss Eleanor was right, after all," said Bessie. "Those
girls really like us now."
"All but Gladys Cooper," said Dolly. "But then she doesn't know any
better. And she'll learn."
SUMMER SNOW
AND
OTHER FAIRY PLAYS
By GRACE RICHARDSON
Finding there is a wide demand for plays which commend themselves to
amateurs and to casts comprised largely of children, Miss Richardson,
already well and widely known, has here given four plays which are
unusually clever and fill this need. They call for but little stage
setting, and that of the simplest kind, are suited to presentation the
year around, and can be effectively produced by amateurs without
difficulty.
PUCK IN PETTICOATS
By GRACE RICHARDSON
Five plays about children, for children to play--Hansel and Gretel, The
Wishing Well, The King of Salt, The Moon Dream, and Puck in Petticoats.
Each is accompanied by stage directions, property plots and other
helpful suggestions for acting. Some of the plays take but twenty
minutes, others as long as an hour to produce, and every one of the
five are clever.

By DOROTHY CLEATHER
Not one of the six sparkling plays between these covers calls for a

They are easily, effectively staged--just the sort that girls like to
play and that enthusiastic audiences heartily enjoy.
