“While not so satisfactory as some of the earlier stories of school life by the same author, it is wholesome, fairly well written, and will certainly be liked by boys.”

* Barbour, Ralph Henry. Holly: the romance of a southern girl. †$2. Lippincott.
7–33207.
A very pretty southern romance in which Holly Wayne, eighteen and a true daughter of the confederacy, is wooed by Robert Winthrop, thirty-eight and a northerner. The book is a holiday offering from its very name to its full-page colored illustrations and the blue and gold binding.
“Being longer and more ambitious than his previous efforts, it is natural that it should not be quite so well finished. Nevertheless ‘Holly’ is a pretty story.”
