* Smith, Mrs. Elizabeth Tomasina (formerly L. T. Meade). Three girls from school. †$1.50. Lippincott.
A story which centers about a trio of English school girls. The most intellectual of the three learns that she must leave school for financial reasons; the wealthy one learns that by winning a certain prize her cherished hope of leaving school and traveling with an aunt in France will be realized; while the third, an unscrupulous minx, is a go-between who bribes the honest Priscilla to turn over her essay to the girl whose pleasure depends upon winning the prize, in consideration for which Priscilla is to remain in school. This dishonesty followed by a series of tricks to support it causes no end of complication and humiliation.
