MR. DO SOMETHING; Of the Island of Make Believe
By BLANCHE E. WADE.
With 8 plates in full color, and many other illustrations, cloth
decorative, 12mo $1.75

who is the embodiment of all that is bright and sunshiny. He wears a
continuous smile and is forever on the move, making up new games and
stories for boys and girls. No child can fail to be entranced by the
story; and, once imbued with the spirit of "Do Something," the tedious
hours of inaction, caused by lack of pleasing methods of play, will be
forever banished.

home. In contrast to Virginia's hauteur and selfishness are the kindly
deeds of Joan, "Little Glad Heart."
