Smith, Gertrude. Beautiful story of Doris and Julie. **$1.30. Harper.
Very young folks are told in this story all about Doris and Julie who lived in the tiny red house, how their father lost his money and had to go away from them to earn more and how Miss Alice, who lived in the big house next door, took them home with her to be her little girls and made their lives one beautiful fairy-story.
“Is quite as pretty and delightful as its title indicates, and as are the previous stories of this author of children’s books.”
