Nicola: The Career of a Girl Musician. By M. Corbet-Seymour. Illustrated by Gertrude D. Hammond.
This is an interesting study of a girl's character who has ambitions, and a rare gift for music. Nicola is also self-willed, and selfishly sets aside all claims, both of family and friends, in her desire to become famous. Ultimately she learns, after bitter experience, that even the lowly duties of life bring their own exceeding pleasure.
