om Kathie married. By AMANDA M. DOUGLAS. Price, $1.50. Popular edition, $1.00. Miss DOUGLAS wrote a series of juvenile stories in which Kathie figured; and in this volume the young lady finds her destiny. The sweetness and purity of her life is reflected in the lives of all about her, and she is admired and beloved by all.
