BOOKS BY ANNIE H. RYDER.

Hold up Your Heads, Girls!

12mo, cloth, $1.00.

"The author of 'Hold up your Heads, Girls!' has, in the treatment of a very important subject, invested it with an interest and brightness which will make it pleasant and even fascinating reading for the class of young people to whom it is addressed. In the eleven chapters of which the contents consist there is more sound practical advice, sensibly put, on points of every-day interest to girls, than we have ever before seen put into the same number of pages. It is a book for study, for companionship, and the girl who reads it thoughtfully and with an intent to profit by it will get more real help and good from it than from a term at the best boarding-school in the country."—Boston Transcript.

Margaret Regis and some other Girls.

12mo, illustrated, $1.25.

"The college life of young women is described in this book in a very entertaining way, and in a spirit the most wholesome and cheerful. Margaret Regis is a splendid creation of the author's fancy, just such a young woman as all of us like to read about. In her schooldays she is not different from others. There is a shade of profound thought in her description of this period of life: 'She is like the many, many girls, increasing in numbers every year, who, unfixed and restless, go into college or the office, with a vague determination to do something that shall make them independent or superior to the greatest number of girls, but with no definite idea of how they are to use the knowledge and experience they gain.' Margaret Regis does not remain long in this unsettled state. She is emphatically a woman with a purpose. How its current was turned from the intended course makes an interesting narrative which the reader will find full of profit."—Cleveland Leader.

WHEN GRANDMAMMA WAS FOURTEEN

By MARION HARLAND

WITH FOUR FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS AND NUMEROUS PICTURES IN THE TEXT PRICE $1.25

Later adventures of the heroine of "WHEN GRANDMAMMA WAS NEW."

THOSE who recall this noted author's delightful story, "When Grandmamma was New," will be glad to hear that in this book are the adventures of the heroine at a later period. Through the eyes of fourteen-year-old Molly Burwell, the reader sees much that is quaint, amusing and pathetic in ante-bellum Richmond, and the story has all the charm of manner and rich humanity which are characteristic of Marion Harland. All healthy-hearted children will delight in the story, and so will their parents.

WHEN GRANDMAMMA WAS NEW

The Story of a Virginia Girlhood in the FortiesByMarion Harland12mo Illustrated Price $1.25

The BOSTON JOURNAL says:

"If only one might read it first with the trained enjoyment of the 'grown-up' mind that is 'at leisure from itself,' and then if one might withdraw into ten-year-old-dom once more and seek the shadow of the friendly apple-tree, and revel in it all over again, taste it all just as the child tastes, and find it luscious! For this book has charm and piquancy. And it is in just this vivid remembrance of a child's mental workings, in just the avoidance of all 'writing down' to the supposed level of a child's mind, that this story has its rare attractiveness. It is bright, winsome, and magnetic."

The INTERIOR, Chicago, says:

"'Grandmamma' may have charmed other folks,—has charmed them all, incontrovertibly,—but she has never tried harder to be vivid and dramatic and entertaining, and to leave a sweet kernel of application, withal, than in these memory-tales of a sunny childhood on a big Virginia plantation. It is a book which will delight, not children alone, but all such as have the child heart and a tender memory of when they were 'new.'"

The Laurel TokenA Story of the Yamassee Uprising

By ANNIE M. BARNES

Author of "Little Betty Blew" and "A Lass of Dorchester"

Illustrated by G. W. Picknell 12mo Cloth $1.25

This is a book for young people of either sex, for, although the leading character is a girl of eighteen, her cousins, two boys of sixteen and fourteen respectively, are prominent throughout the story, which centres about a beautiful girl, left an orphan, as is supposed, in Barbados, who goes to live with her uncle, a leading man in the flourishing "Goose Creek" colony, in the year of the Indian uprising, 1714. The very real danger from the red men, who have been regarded as friendly, but have been the victims of selfishness, and thus made ready tools for the crafty Spanish having their headquarters at St. Augustine, forms the background to the story, and gives opportunity for the surprising developments which occur respecting the heroine and others. The illustrations by Mr. Picknell are very accurate in their composition, besides being finely executed.

An Honor Girl

By EVELYN RAYMOND Illustrated by

Bertha G. Davidson 12mo Cloth $1.25

A bright, helpful story of a girl who, as the valedictorian and "honor girl" of her class at high school, wins a scholarship which would take her through Wellesley College. Family reverses bring it home to her thatdutydemands that she devote herself to helping her parents and wayward brother to face the future better than they seem likely to. She heroically surrenders her prize, with its glowing prospects, to a jealous rival, and with a brave humor says that she has matriculated in the College of Life, the hard features of which she happily styles the "faculty," with "Professor Poverty" prominent among them. These prove excellent teachers, aided by "Professor Cheerfulness." Kind friends are won by her courage, her brother achieves manly character, and the family are finally re-established on the road to prosperity: all better, happier, and more to each other than had selfishness not been so well met and overcome by "An Honor Girl."

An unusual amount of practical information is presented in a thoroughly entertaining manner, and the character-drawing is remarkably true and strong.

THE characters in this book seem to live, their remarks are bright and natural, and the incidental humor delightful.
