THE “TIP-CAT” SERIES

BY THE AUTHOR OF “LADDIE.”

Large Crown 8vo, Art Linen Gilt, Illustrated, 2s. 6d.

Chambers’ Journal says:—“The diffidence of the authoress of ‘Laddie’ has hitherto prevented her real name and portrait from going forth to the public. But her work is finer, and has more grit, sanity, and beauty than is the case with writers who are better known. It is possible that her ‘Laddie’ may become a classic.”

TIP-CAT. By the Author of “Laddie.”

A very pathetic story of hardships and sacrifice, telling how the tenderness and generosity of one may make life smooth and happy for others.

DEAR. By the Author of “Laddie.”
