Chapter XXXII: A Kittie Party 230 (6)

The story of a bright, charming, tender, and good-hearted little girl, whose kindness, amiability, and natural and unaffected goodness charm all who come in contact with her, and soften the heart even of those who are inclined to be harsh and severe with children. It is one of a number of books published lately which give an insight into the feelings and motives of childhood. It indicates how their seeming faults are frequently the result of their good impulses.

The simple story is well told, and will interest children and all who are interested in them.--_Pittsburg Times._

_A SWEET LITTLE MAID_

BY AMY E. BLANCHARD, _Author of “A Dear Little Girl,” “Dimple
Dallas,” etc., etc. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth._ $1.00.

The heroines are a little white girl and a little black girl, two very intimate friends. It is a charming story for little girls--charmingly illustrated.--_Outlook._

This is a fascinating story, told in Miss Blanchard’s delightful style, and it will be a very queer little maid that will not enjoy reading about the good times enjoyed by Florence, Dimple and Bubbles and their dollies.--_Richmond Times._

Miss Blanchard has the happy knack of writing in a way to interest little children, and this simple tale is likely to interest many a young reader where a more pretentious narrative would fail.--_Indianapolis Journal._

Many charming stories for children have come from the pen of this writer, and this new one adds another lovable girl to the number with whom we have already become acquainted. They have their faults and little tempers as well as their sweet ways, but we forgive them and love them all the more. This Sweet Little Maid and her cousin have good times together and also bad times when they get into trouble, but through it all they claim our constant interest and affection.--_Westminster Teacher._
