I wish you would send me the names of a few good books. I do not want anything like fairy tales, but something on the order of "Six Girls," by Miss Irving, or "Little Women"; or I would be more pleased with the names of a few good boarding-school stories. I would also like you to explain the relationship between Noah and Daniel Webster.
Hoping I will receive an answer in a short time, I remain,
Your interested reader,
Cincinnati, O., Feb. 22d, 1897. Grace G.
Dear Grace:
We are very glad you take pleasure in The Great Round World, and that you find it useful.
We are told by a girl who is fond of reading, that "A World of Girls," by Mead, is the most delightful school story ever written.
"Jackanapes," "Six to Sixteen," "A Flat-Iron for a Farthing," are all three by Mrs. Ewing, and are charming books.
"An Old-Fashioned Girl," and Miss Yonge's "Pillars of the House," are both interesting.
History does not tell us of any close relationship between Noah and Daniel Webster. Editor.
Dear Editor:
