The Four Miss Whittingtons: A Story for Girls. With 8 full-page Illustrations by Charles M. Sheldon. 5s.
This story tells how four sisters, left alone in the world, went to London to seek their fortunes. They had between them £400, and this they resolved to spend on training themselves for the different careers for which they were severally most fitted. On their limited means this was hard work, but their courageous experiment was on the whole very successful.
“A story of endeavour, industry, and independence of spirit.”—World.
ALICE STRONACH
A Newnham Friendship. With 6 full-page Illustrations by Harold Copping. 3s. 6d.
A sympathetic description of life at Newnham College. After the tripos excitements, some of the students leave their dream-world of study and talk of “cocoas” and debates and athletics to begin their work in the real world. Men students play their part in the story, and in the closing chapters it is suggested that marriage has its place in a girl graduate’s life.
“Foremost among all the gift-books suitable for school-girls this season stands Miss Alice Stronach’s A Newnham Friendship.”—Daily Graphic.
BESSIE MARCHANT
A Heroine of the Sea. Illustrated by A. M‘Lellan. 3s. 6d.
Maudie’s home was on the wild westerly shore of Vancouver Island, and she earned her living by fishing in the Inlet, heartily despising all merely feminine occupations, and not even knowing that she was beautiful. Then changes come, and Maudie awakes to the charm of a domestic life. Clouds gather about the home, and many troubles intervene before the mystery is at last happily cleared away.
