The third volume in the "Wide Awake Girls" series finds the four friends at Dexter, where they live the happy, merry life of the modern college girl. Miss Ellis still maintains the atmosphere of quiet refinement, and has introduced an older element, which lends much to the interest of the book—the element of love and romance. The "Wide Awakes" are growing up and Catharine's love story delights her associates.
ANNA HAMLIN WEIKEL'S BETTY BAIRD SERIES
BETTY BAIRD
Illustrated by Ethel Pennewill Brown.
A boarding school story, with a charming heroine, delightfully narrated. The book is lively and breezy throughout.—Philadelphia Press.
A true presentment of girl life.—Chicago Evening Post.
Betty is a heroine so animated and charming that she wins the reader's affection at once. When she enters the boarding school she is shy, old-fashioned, and not quite so well-dressed as some of the other girls. It is not long, however, before her lovable character wins her many friends, and she becomes one of the most popular girls in the school.—Brooklyn Eagle.
The illustrations, by Ethel Pennewill Brown, are remarkably successful in their portrayal of girlish spirit and charm.—New York Times.
