FLAXIE'S LITTLE PITCHERS

"Little Flaxie will secure a warm place in the hearts of all
at once. Here is her little picture: Her name was Mary Gray,
but they called her Flaxie Frizzle, because she had light
curly hair that frizzled; and she had a curly nose,--that
is, her nose curled up at the end a wee bit, just enough to
make it look cunning. Her cheeks were rosy red, 'and she was
so fat that when Mr. Snow, the postmaster, saw her, he said,
"How d'ye do, Mother Bunch?"'"--_Boston Home Journal._

FLAXIE'S TWIN COUSINS

"Another of those sweet, natural child-stories in which the
heroine does and says just such things as actual, live,
flesh children do, is the one before us. And, what is still

story. The nine-year-old Flaxie is worried, beloved, and
disciplined by a bewitching three-year-old tormenter, whose
accomplished mother allows her to prey upon the neighbors.
'Everybody felt the care of Mrs. Garland's children. There
were six of them, and their mother was always painting
china. She did it beautifully, with graceful vines trailing
over it, and golden butterflies ready to alight on sprays of
lovely flowers. Sometimes the neighbors thought it would be
a fine thing if she would keep her little ones at home
rather more; but if she had done that she could not have
painted china.'"--_Chicago Tribune._

FLAXIE GROWING UP

"No more charming stories for the little ones were ever
written than those comprised in the three series which have
for several years past been from time to time added to
juvenile literature by Sophie May. They have received the
