=JOY BELLS A Story of Quinnebasset=

By SOPHIE MAY Illustrated by FRANK T. MERRILL 12mo Cloth $1.25

The thousands of admirers of the “Quinnebasset” books have had to wait along time for another, but this new story is well worth waiting for. All the delightful wit of the author is here and at its best, and “Persis,” the heroine, is very near to being the most charming of all her gifted creations. The scene is laid in the fifties. There are thrilling incidents, and also mysteries and suspicions, but all these are finally unravelled and allayed by the persistent efforts of the heroine.

=PAULINE WYMAN=

By SOPHIE MAY Cloth Illustrated $1.25

In “Pauline Wyman” the author has drawn a typical New England girl whose strong and beautiful character is developed by her environment. How she overcomes unfavorable surroundings, her experience in teaching school, the interesting circumstances in a young girl’s life are all told with the same originality and freshness which have drawn a multitude of young people to the author’s previous work.

=MADGE A GIRL IN EARNEST=

By S. JENNIE SMITH 12mo Cloth Illustrated by JAMES E. MCBURNEY $1.25

Madge is indeed “a girl in earnest.” She scorns the patronage of an aristocratic relative and takes upon her strong young shoulders the problem of carrying along the family in an independent manner. Her bravely won success, in spite of the lions in her path, not the least of which was the fear of social disfavor felt by some of her family, forms an inspiring tale. An unusual amount of practical information is presented in a thoroughly entertaining manner, and the character-drawing is remarkably true and strong.
