MISS BILLY

A NEIGHBORHOOD STORY

By EDITH K. STOKELY and MARIAN K. HURD

Illustrated by CHARLES COPELAND

12mo Cloth 1.50

"MISS BILLY" deserves more than passing notice in these days of civic improvement. It is a story of what an irrepressible young woman accomplished in the neighborhood into which her family felt obliged to move for financial reasons. The street was almost as unpromising as the celebrated "Cabbage Patch," and its characters equally interesting and original. The happy common-sense of Miss Billy and the quaint sayings and doings of her new neighbors form a capital story.
