KITTY KENT’S TROUBLES. By JuliaA. Eastman. 16 mo. Illustrated

“A delicious April-day style of book, sunshiny with smiles onone page while the next is misty with tender tears. Almost everytype of American school-girl is here represented—the vain HelenDart, the beauty, Amy Searle, the ambitious, high bred, conservativeAnna Matson; but next to Kitty herself sunny little PaulineSedgewick will prove the general favorite. It is a story fullycalculated to win both girls and boys toward noble, royal ways ofdoing little as well as great things. All teachers should feel aninterest in placing it in the hands of their pupils.”

It always contains a feast of fat things for the little folks, and folks who are no longer little find there lost childhood in its pages. We are not saying too much when we say that its versatile editor—Ella Farman, is more fully at home in the child’s wonder-land than any other living American writer. She is thoroughly en rapport with her readers, gives them now a sugar plum of poesy, now a dainty jelly-cake of imagination, and cunningly intermixes all the solid bread of thought that the child’s mind can digest and assimilate.—York True Democrat.
