Then the Doctor told the little girl about her father's old home in Virginia, which was built when George Washington was a little boy. By degrees, her eyes grew heavy, and his voice died away into silence; and when, at the very late hour of half-past seven, Sister Julia came as far as the door to see whether her patient was ready to go to bed, she found the Doctor, a very tender light in his eyes, gazing into the glowing coals, and Mary fast asleep in his arms.

Uncle Frank's Mary
By CLEMENTIA
Uncle Frank's Mary is Clementia's first book, and it is full of thoughtful interest; has a wonderful plot development, charming dialogue, and an abundance of action. It introduces a host of delightful personages besides the lovable little heroine.
It will appeal to girls particularly from ages 12 to 17.
