Donnell, Annie Hamilton. [Rebecca Mary]; with eight illustrations in color by Mary Shippen Green. [†]$1.50. Harper.
Rebecca Mary, a little New England girl, figures thru these sketches. She lives with a prim severe aunt with whom she possesses in common certain family traits. “Being a Plummer meant a great deal. It meant that by no chance must one ever display any of the emotions that one experiences. Neither must one ever show one’s affection; one must have courage to do what is right, no matter how unpleasant; one must be conscientious to a fault, and above all one must do one’s duty if it kills one.” (N. Y. Times.)
“On the whole, Rebecca Mary is worth knowing.”
