THE CHAUTAUQUA GIRLS AT HOME

By _Pansy_. 12mo. Illustrated. 1 50

“Pansy knows girls, and has the gift of story-telling, by which the hard facts of every-day life take on a charm as of fairy-land. No one can look into ‘The Chautauqua Girls’ without feeling the subtle fascination of its pictures of quiet life, and being drawn into warm sympathy with the four friends who long to form noble characters. They have been won to a love of Jesus by attending a camp-meeting at Chautauqua; but they find it so hard to be true to their new impulses, and to carry the spirit of the Bible into every-day life, that the story of their struggles, disheartening failures relieved by partial successes, is very human and full of genuine pathos. It is good summer reading, for beguiling away hours, and inspiring with generous purposes.”

“Pansy’s last book, ‘The Chautauqua Girls at Home,’ is as fresh and inspiring as a fine morning in June. The four friends, Marion, Ruth, Flossy and Eurie, are of genuine flesh and blood, with the petty weaknesses that flesh is heir to, and the noble aspirations that come at times to every high-minded girl. Their unlikeness to each other in character and social position, and their mutual helpfulness in all sorts of difficulties, make a delightful story; instructive as well as fascinating. One finds it hard to lay down the book after beginning the first chapter. It will find many readers who will welcome its stimulating power to high aims in life, and to patience and hope in fighting hard battles.”

WALTER NEAL’S EXAMPLE. By _Rev. Theron Brown_. 16 mo. Illustrated 1 25

TWO FORTUNE-SEEKERS. Stories by _Rossiter Johnson_, _Louise Chandler Moulton_, _E. Stuart Phelps_, _Ella Farman_, _etc._ Fully illustrated 1 50

MISS JULIA A. EASTMAN is one of the most popular of our modern writers.

YOUNG RICK. By _Julia A. Eastman_. Large 16mo. Twelve illustrations by Sol Eytinge $1 50

A bright, fascinating story of a little boy who was both a blessing and a bother.—_Boston Journal._

The most delightful book on the list for the children of the family, being full of adventures and gay home scenes and merry play-times. “Paty” would have done credit to Dickens in his palmiest days. The strange glows and shadows of her character are put in lovingly and lingeringly, with the pencil of a master. Miss Margaret’s character of light is admirably drawn, while Aunt Lesbia, Deacon Harkaway, Tom Dorrance, and the master and mistress of Graythorpe poor-house are genuine “charcoal sketches.”

STRIKING FOR THE RIGHT. By _Julia A. Eastman_. Large 16mo. Illustrated 1 75

SHORT-COMINGS AND LONG-GOINGS. By _Julia A. Eastman_. 16 mo. Illustrated 1 25

A remarkable book, crowded with remarkable characters. It is a picture gallery of human nature.

KITTY KENT’S TROUBLES. _By Julia A. Eastman_. 16 mo. Illustrated 1 50

“A delicious April-day style of book, sunshiny with smiles on one page while the next is misty with tender tears. Almost every type of American school-girl is here represented—the vain Helen Dart, the beauty, Amy Searle, the ambitious, high bred, conservative Anna Matson; but next to Kitty herself sunny little Pauline Sedgewick will prove the general favorite. It is a story fully calculated to win both girls and boys toward noble, royal ways of doing little as well as great things. All teachers should feel an interest in placing it in the hands of their pupils.”

“MISS FARMAN has the very desirable knack of imparting valuable ideas under the guise of a pleasing story.”—_The New Century._

MRS. HURD’S NIECE. By _Ella Farman_. Ill. $1 50

A thrilling story for the girls, especially for those who think they have a “mission,” to whom we commend sturdy English Hannah, with her small means, and her grand success. Saidee Hurd is one of the sweetest girls ever embalmed in story, and Lois Gladstone one of the noblest.

THE COOKING CLUB OF TU-WHIT HOLLOW. By _Ella Farman_. 16 mo. Eight full-page illustrations 1 25

Worth reading by all who delight in domestic romance.—_Fall River Daily News._

The practical instructions in housewifery, which are abundant, are set in the midst of a bright, wholesome story, and the little housewives who figure in it are good specimens of very human, but at the same time very lovable, little American girls. It ought to be the most successful little girls’ book of the season.—_The Advance._

A LITTLE WOMAN. By _Ella Farman_. 16mo. 1 00

The daintiest of all juvenile books. From its merry pages, winsome Kinnie Crosby has stretched out her warm little hand to help thousands of young girls.

A WHITE HAND. By _Ella Farman_. 12mo. Ill. 1 50

A genuine painting of American society. Millicent and Jack are drawn by a bold, firm hand. No one can lay this story down until the last leaf is turned.

_WIDE AWAKE._

AN ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE

For the Young Folks.

$2.00 PER ANNUM. POSTAGE PREPAID.

Edited by ELLA FARMAN.

Published by D. LOTHROP & CO., Boston, Mass.

It always contains a feast of fat things for the little folks, and folks who are no longer little find there lost childhood in its pages. We are not saying too much when we say that its versatile editor—Ella Farman, is more fully at home in the child’s wonder-land than any other living American writer. She is thoroughly _en rapport_ with her readers, gives them now a sugar plum of poesy, now a dainty jelly-cake of imagination, and cunningly intermixes all the solid bread of thought that the child’s mind can digest and assimilate.—_York True Democrat._

PANSY’S PAGE.

FOUR GIRLS AT CHAUTAUQUA. By _Pansy_. 12 mo. Illustrated $1 50
