Dorothea Drummond, a young Scotch girl on a visit to relations in the South during the Civil War, learns that in the household there is a member of the “Red String,” a mysterious society, pledged to work against the Confederacy and to help escaping prisoners. Who is it? Beautiful April May, a rebel through and through, who has parted from her lover because he did not volunteer? Quaint Miss Imogene, with her memories of a favorite suitor from the North? Mrs. May, an avowed submissionist? Val Tracy, a care-free Irishman fighting for the love of a good fight? Or is it one of the servants, daring much when freedom is near?
Mr. and Mrs. Knipe tell a story of tangled fortune in “Girls of ’64” that a girl of 18 (or 19) will hardly put down before its happy ending is reached.

A Maid of ’76
It is full of action and holds the interest from the first page; it gives a much more vivid picture of colonial times than a child could get from half a dozen histories.
