SOPHIE MAY'S "LITTLE-FOLKS" BOOKS [Illustration: "As Dotty seized two locks of the Major's hair, one in each hand, and pulled them both as if she meant to draw them out by the roots, out they came! Yes, entirely out; and more than that, all the rest of his hair came too. His head was left as smooth as an apple. You see how it was. He wore a wig, and just for play had slyly unfastened it, and allowed Miss Dotty to pull it off. The perfect despair of her little face amused him vastly, but he did not smile; he looked very severe. 'See what you have done,' said he. Major Laydie's entire head of hair lay at her feet, as brown and wavy as ever it was. Dotty looked at it with horror. The idea of scalping a man." SPECIMEN OF "DOTTY DIMPLE" ILLUSTRATIONS. * * * * * * SOPHIE MAY'S "LITTLE-FOLKS" BOOKS DOTTY DIMPLE AT SCHOOL. "Miss Dotty is a peremptory little body, with a great deal of human nature in her, who wins our hearts by her comic speeches and funny ways. She complains of being bewitched by people, and the wind 'blows her out,' and she thinks if her comrade dies in the snow-storm she will be 'dreadfully 'shamed of it,' and has rather a lively time with all her trials in going to school."--New York Citizen. DOTTY DIMPLE AT PLAY. "'Charming Dotty Dimple' as she is so universally styled, has become decidedly a favorite with young and old, who are alike pleased with her funny sayings and doings. Dotty At Play will be found very attractive, and the children, especially the girls, will be delighted with her adventures."--Boston Express. DOTTY DIMPLE'S FLYAWAY. "This is the final volume of the Dotty Dimple Series. It relates how little Flyaway provisioned herself with cookies and spectacles and got lost on a little hill while seeking to mount to heaven, and what a precious alarm there was until she was found, and the subsequent joy at her recovery, with lots of quaint speeches and funny incidents."--North American. "A Little Red Riding-Hoodish story, sprightly and takingly told." --American Farmer. * * * * * * SOPHIE MAY'S "LITTLE-FOLKS" BOOKS [Illustration: LITTLE PRUDY'S FLYAWAY SERIES] Six Volumes.
