ich shows the beauty and strength of her
character. How she surmounted the difficulty, it would not be fair to
state."--_New York Evening Mail._

From Hand to Mouth. By AMANDA M. DOUGLAS. Price, $1.50. Popular
edition, $1.00.

"This is a thoroughly good, true, pure, sweet, and touching story. It
covers precisely those phases of domestic life which are of the most
common experience, and will take many and many of its readers just
where they have been themselves. There is trouble in it, and sorrow,
and pain, and parting, but the sunset glorifies the clouds of the
varied day, and the peace which passes understanding pervades all. For
young women whose lives are just opening into wifehood and maternity,
we have read nothing better for many a day."--_Literary World._

A Modern Adam and Eve in a Garden. By AMANDA M. DOUGLAS. Price $1.50.

Bright, amusing, and sensible. A story of two people who set out to win
their share of the world's wealth, and how they did it; which, as a
critic says, "is rather jolly and out-of-door-y, and ends in a

knowledge.

lead the reader on. Among Miss DOUGLAS' many successful books, there is
none more beautiful or attractive, or which leaves a more permanent
impression.

Claudia. By AMANDA M. DOUGLAS. Price, $1.50. Popular edition, $1.00.

This is a romantic story, with abundant incidents and strong
situations. The interest is intense. It concerns two half sisters,
whose contrasted character and complicated fortunes are the charm of
the book.

Seven Daughters. By AMANDA M. DOUGLAS. Price $1.50.

The "Seven" are daughters of a country clergyman who is not greatly
blessed with the good things of the world. The story is related by the
eldest, who considers herself far from brilliant or witty, but who
makes charming pictures of all who figure in the book. The good
minister consents to receive a number of bright boys as pupil-boarders,
and the two families make a suggestive counterpoise, with mutual
advantage. Destiny came with the coming of the boys, and the story has
