One of the most delightful stories for young readers that have been published for many years was the book given to them two years ago, entitled “The Little Lady of the Horse,” written by Evelyn Raymond. It has already become a classic. But the same gifted author has well matched this favorite story with a new one which she has produced for the present holiday season, entitled “A Cape May Diamond.” The heroine of this story was cast upon the beach at Cape May in a basket, made waterproof, when little more than an infant, and was adopted by a worthy German and his wife. She was called a Diamond by the life-saving men because she was found in the sand, and she grew to girlhood a universal favorite on the beach, because of her splendid character. She was healthy, true as steel, ready to help anybody in need, and as brave as the most faithful dog. Every reader is sure to love the sunny-hearted little Karen, and will rejoice in the happy solution of the mystery that surrounded her parentage and her advent at Cape May. The book is finely illustrated by Lilian Crawford True, and it will be sure to be a holiday favorite.
