's Ambition. With Illustrations. 2_s._ 6_d._

Miriam's ambition is to make someone happy, and her endeavour carries with
it a train of incident, solving a mystery which had thrown a shadow over
several lives. A charming foil to her grave elder sister is to be found in
Miss Babs, a small coquette of five, whose humorous child-talk is so
attractive.

"Miss Everett-Green's children are real British boys and girls, not
small men and women. Babs is a charming little one."--_Liverpool
Mercury_.

that they shall forsake the company of their scapegrace grown-up cousin

succeed so well that he wins back the love of his aunt.
