nique among tales intended for children, alike for pleasant instruction, quaintness of humor, gentle pathos, and the subtlety with which lessons moral and otherwise are conveyed to children, and perhaps to their seniors as well."--=The Spectator.= =Joan's Adventures at the North Pole and Elsewhere.= By ALICE CORKRAN. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price 75 cents. "Wonderful as the adventures of Joan are, it must be admitted that they are very naturally worked out and very plausibly presented. Altogether this is an excellent story for girls."--=Saturday Review.= =Count Up the Sunny Days: A Story for Girls and Boys.= By C. A. JONES. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price 75 cents. "An unusually good children's story."--=Glasgow Herald.= =The Dove in the Eagle's Nest.= By CHARLOTTE M. YONGE. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00. "Among all the modern writers we believe Miss Yonge first, not in genius, but in this, that she employs her great abilities for a high and noble purpose. We know of few modern writers whose works may be so safely commended as hers."--=Cleveland Times.= =Jan of the Windmill.= A Story of the Plains. By MRS. J. H. EWING. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00. "Never has Mrs. Ewing published a more charming volume, and that is saying a very great deal. From the first to the last the book overflows with the strange knowledge of child-nature which so rarely survives childhood; and moreover, with inexhaustible quiet humor, which is never anything but innocent and well-bred, never priggish, and never clumsy."--=Academy.= =A Sweet Girl Graduate.= By L. T. MEADE. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00. "One of this popular author's best. The characters are well imagined and drawn. The story moves with plenty of spirit and the interest does not flag until the end too quickly comes."--=Providence Journal.= =Six to Sixteen=: A Story for Girls. By JULIANA HORATIA EWING. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00. "There is no doubt as to the good quality and attractiveness of 'Six to Sixteen.' The book is one which would enrich any girl's book shelf."--=St. James' Gazette.= =The Palace Beautiful=: A Story for Girls. By L. T. MEADE. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00. "A bright and interesting story. The many admirers of Mrs. L. T. Meade in this country will be delighted with the 'Palace Beautiful' for more reasons than one. It is a charming book for girls."--=New York Recorder.=
