By Some Friends of the Girls.
Of all the books that have been specially prepared for girls this is at once the most interesting and most practical. It is not, as one might perhaps imagine, a story, but, as the title page sets forth, it contains “plans and designs for work upstairs and down, and entertainments for herself and friend”; a book, in short, to show girls how they may make their rooms cosey and attractive with only a small outlay of money and time and work. Each of the twenty-four chapters deals with a special subject. Price $1.00.
