NEW BOOKS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
Elizabeth Bess: A Little Girl of the Sixties
By E. C. Scott. With illustrations by Alice Beard.
Decorated cloth, 12mo.
Here is told the very human story of a little girl in the period immediately following the Civil War. There is something decidedly real about her experiences, the way in which she gets lost or goes visiting or celebrates the Fourth; there is something intimate in the presentation of the characters, father, mother, brother, playmates and the neighbors. Through it all, too, there runs the quality of suspense in the search for the brother who was reported missing after Gettysburg and whose romantic re-union with his folks furnishes an incident of tremendous charm and appeal. Elizabeth Bess is a story that young people will enjoy and from which they will get at the same time an accurate picture of life in history making days in this country.
A Maid of Old Manhattan
By Alden A. Knipe and Emile Benson Knipe, Authors of “A Maid of ’76.” With illustrations by Mrs. Knipe.
Decorated cloth, 12mo.
