-- A Girl of To-Day. With 6 page Illustrations by G. D. HAMMOND, R.I. 3s.
6d.

"What are Altruists?" humbly asks a small boy. "They are only
people who try to help others," replies the Girl of To-Day. To
help their poorer neighbours, the boys and girls of Woodend band
themselves together into the _Society of Altruists_. That they
have plenty of fun is seen in the shopping expedition and in the
successful Christmas entertainment.

"It is a spirited story. The characters are true to nature
and carefully developed. Such a book as this is exactly what
is needed to give a school-girl an interest in the
development of character."--_Educational Times._

FRANCES ARMSTRONG

A Girl's Loyalty. With 6 Illustrations by JOHN H. BACON. Cloth, 3s. 6d.
New Edition.

When she was still but a child, Helen Grant received from her
grandfather, on his death-bed, a secret message. The brief words
remained fast in her memory, and dominated her whole career. She
was loyal to her trust, however, and to her friends in the hour
of their need. For the girl was possessed of that quick courage
which leaps up in a shy nature when evil-doers have to be
unmasked, and wrongs made right.

"The one book for girls that stands out this year is Miss
Frances Armstrong's _A Girl's Loyalty_."--_Review of
Reviews._

"The success of the year has fallen, we think, to Mrs.
Norway, whose _True Cornish Maid_ is really an admirable
piece of work."--_Review of Reviews._
