————
This new book for girls, by Lina and Adelia Beard, whose previous books on girls’ sports have become classic, combines a mass of practical instruction on handicrafts and recreations. No more charming book for girls could be desired.
“It teaches how to make serviceable and useful things of all kinds out of every kind of material. It also tells how to play and how to make things to play with. The girl who gets this book will not lack for occupation and pleasure.”—Chicago Evening Post.
