rls this season stands Miss Alice Stronach's A Newnham Friendship."--_Daily Graphic_. BESSIE MARCHANT A Heroine of the Sea. Illustrated by A. M'LELLAN. 3_s._ 6_d._ Maudie's home was on the wild westerly shore of Vancouver Island, and she earned her living by fishing in the Inlet, heartily despising all merely feminine occupations, and not even knowing that she was beautiful. Then changes come, and Maudie awakes to the charm of a domestic life. Clouds gather about the home, and many troubles intervene before the mystery is at last happily cleared away. "A genuine tale of adventure for girls, and girls will thoroughly enjoy it."--_Academy_. --Three Girls on a Ranch: A Story of New Mexico. With 4 page Illustrations by W. E. WEBSTER. 2_s._ 6_d._ The Lovell family emigrate from England to New Mexico, where they settle on a ranch. Mr. Lovell is delicate and unfit for farming, but the three eldest girls take upon themselves the burden of working the ranch. They have adventures of a perilous kind, and the story of their mishaps and how they overcame them is throughout both exciting and stimulating. "A story with a fresh, bright theme, well handled."--_Nottingham Guardian_. "A rousing book for young people."--_Queen_. MRS. HENRY CLARKE The Fairclough Family. With 6 Illustrations by G. D. HAMMOND, R.I. Cloth, 3_s._ 6_d._ It was matter for amazement when Ronald Hammersley fell in love with Kathy Fairclough, who was considered a blue-stocking, instead of with her younger sister Nell, whom Mrs. Hammersley had chosen for him. Why Mrs. Hammersley desired her wealthy stepson to marry one of Dr. Fairclough's penniless daughters was a secret. How the secret became known, and nearly wrecked the happiness of Kathy and Ronald, is told in the story. But all ends well, and to the sound of marriage bells. "One of those stories which all girls enjoy."--_World_. J. M. CALLWELL A Little Irish Girl. Illustrated by H. COPPING. 2_s._ 6_d._ An orphaned family inherit a small property on the coast of Clare. The two youngest members of the party have some thrilling adventures in their western home. They encounter seals, smugglers, and a ghost, and lastly, by most startling means, they succeed in restoring their eldest brother to his rightful place as heir to the ancestral estates. "Sure to prove of thrilling interest to both boys and girls."--_Literary World_. E. EVERETT-GREEN Miriam
