Peggy Stewart at School
ByGabrielle E. Jackson, author of “Peggy Stewart at Home.” With illustrations by Alice Beard.Decorated cloth, 12mo. $1.25 net.In this book Peggy leaves the broad expanses of Severndale, the estate which has been her home all her life, and goes away to Columbia Heights boarding school. Of course Polly goes with her, for any chronicle of Peggy would be incomplete without her companion. The new friends which the two girls make, the pranks which they indulge in, and more, the good times which Polly’s lively aunt, Mrs. Harold, gives them, comprise a book which is fully as interesting and perhaps even more entertaining thanPeggy Stewart at Home—which is saying a good deal. As in that former book a not inconsiderable part of the interest was supplied by Peggy’s animal friends, so in this, Shashai and Star, the horses which Peggy and Polly bring with them to the school, and Tzaritza, Peggy’s dog, play parts of some importance in the development of the plot.
