The humor peculiar to her pen is here in wonted strength, but in a new guise; and set against it, or interwoven with it, is a story of love and the strange sacrifice of which a few loving hearts are capable.—New York American.

YOUR CHILD AND MINE

Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50

The child heart, strange and sweet and tender, lies open to this sympathetic writer, and other human hearts—and eyes—should be opened by her narratives.—Chicago Record-Herald.

The literary charm of the stories is not the least of their attractions. The interest is all the greater for the style in which the story is told, and the author’s sympathy with her young friends lends a vital warmth to her narrative.—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
