THE CHAUTAUQUA GIRLS AT HOME

By _Pansy_. 12mo. Illustrated. 1 50

“Pansy knows girls, and has the gift of story-telling, by which the hard facts of every-day life take on a charm as of fairy-land. No one can look into ‘The Chautauqua Girls’ without feeling the subtle fascination of its pictures of quiet life, and being drawn into warm sympathy with the four friends who long to form noble characters. They have been won to a love of Jesus by attending a camp-meeting at Chautauqua; but they find it so hard to be true to their new impulses, and to carry the spirit of the Bible into every-day life, that the story of their struggles, disheartening failures relieved by partial successes, is very human and full of genuine pathos. It is good summer reading, for beguiling away hours, and inspiring with generous purposes.”

“Pansy’s last book, ‘The Chautauqua Girls at Home,’ is as fresh and inspiring as a fine morning in June. The four friends, Marion, Ruth, Flossy and Eurie, are of genuine flesh and blood, with the petty weaknesses that flesh is heir to, and the noble aspirations that come at times to every high-minded girl. Their unlikeness to each other in character and social position, and their mutual helpfulness in all sorts of difficulties, make a delightful story; instructive as well as fascinating. One finds it hard to lay down the book after beginning the first chapter. It will find many readers who will welcome its stimulating power to high aims in life, and to patience and hope in fighting hard battles.”

CHAPLIN’S LIFE OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. 16mo. Illustrated 1 50

young men.

WALTER NEAL’S EXAMPLE. By _Rev. Theron Brown_. 16 mo.
Illustrated 1 25

Walter Neal’s Example is by Rev. Theron Brown, the
editor of that very successful paper, _The Youth’s
Companion_. The story is a touching one, and is in
parts so vivid as to seem drawn from the life.—_N. Y.
Independent._

TWO FORTUNE-SEEKERS. Stories by _Rossiter Johnson_, _Louise
Chandler Moulton_, _E. Stuart Phelps_, _Ella Farman_, _etc._
Fully illustrated 1 50

MISS JULIA A. EASTMAN is one of the most popular of our modern writers.

YOUNG RICK. By _Julia A. Eastman_. Large 16mo. Twelve
illustrations by Sol Eytinge $1 50

A bright, fascinating story of a little boy who was
both a blessing and a bother.—_Boston Journal._

The most delightful book on the list for the children
of the family, being full of adventures and gay home
scenes and merry play-times. “Paty” would have done
credit to Dickens in his palmiest days. The strange
glows and shadows of her character are put in lovingly
and lingeringly, with the pencil of a master. Miss
Margaret’s character of light is admirably drawn,
while Aunt Lesbia, Deacon Harkaway, Tom Dorrance, and
the master and mistress of Graythorpe poor-house are
genuine “charcoal sketches.”

STRIKING FOR THE RIGHT. By _Julia A. Eastman_. Large 16mo.
Illustrated 1 75

While this story holds the reader breathless with
expectancy and excitement, its civilizing influence in
the family is hardly to be estimated. In all quarters
it has met with the warmest praise.

Illustrated 1 50

BEULAH ROMNEY. By _Julia A. Eastman_. 16 mo. Illustrated 1 50

Two stories wondrously alive, flashing with fun,
sparkling with tears, throbbing with emotion. The next
best thing to attending Mrs. Hale’s big boarding-school
is to read Beulah’s experience there.

SHORT-COMINGS AND LONG-GOINGS. By _Julia A. Eastman_. 16 mo.
Illustrated 1 25

A remarkable book, crowded with remarkable characters.
It is a picture gallery of human nature.

KITTY KENT’S TROUBLES. _By Julia A. Eastman_. 16 mo.
Illustrated 1 50

“A delicious April-day style of book, sunshiny with
smiles on one page while the next is misty with tender
tears. Almost every type of American school-girl is
here represented—the vain Helen Dart, the beauty, Amy
Searle, the ambitious, high bred, conservative Anna
Matson; but next to Kitty herself sunny little Pauline
Sedgewick will prove the general favorite. It is a
story fully calculated to win both girls and boys
toward noble, royal ways of doing little as well as
great things. All teachers should feel an interest in
placing it in the hands of their pupils.”

“MISS FARMAN has the very desirable knack of imparting valuable ideas under the guise of a pleasing story.”—_The New Century._

MRS. HURD’S NIECE. By _Ella Farman_. Ill. $1 50

A thrilling story for the girls, especially for those
who think they have a “mission,” to whom we commend
sturdy English Hannah, with her small means, and her
grand success. Saidee Hurd is one of the sweetest girls
ever embalmed in story, and Lois Gladstone one of the
noblest.

THE COOKING CLUB OF TU-WHIT HOLLOW. By _Ella Farman_. 16 mo.
Eight full-page illustrations 1 25

Worth reading by all who delight in domestic
romance.—_Fall River Daily News._

The practical instructions in housewifery, which are
abundant, are set in the midst of a bright, wholesome
story, and the little housewives who figure in it are
good specimens of very human, but at the same time very
lovable, little American girls. It ought to be the
most successful little girls’ book of the season.—_The
Advance._

A LITTLE WOMAN. By _Ella Farman_. 16mo. 1 00

The daintiest of all juvenile books. From its merry
pages, winsome Kinnie Crosby has stretched out her warm
little hand to help thousands of young girls.

A WHITE HAND. By _Ella Farman_. 12mo. Ill. 1 50

A genuine painting of American society. Millicent and
Jack are drawn by a bold, firm hand. No one can lay
this story down until the last leaf is turned.

_WIDE AWAKE._

AN ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE

For the Young Folks.

$2.00 PER ANNUM. POSTAGE PREPAID.

Edited by ELLA FARMAN.

Published by D. LOTHROP & CO., Boston, Mass.

It always contains a feast of fat things for the little
folks, and folks who are no longer little find there
lost childhood in its pages. We are not saying too much
when we say that its versatile editor—Ella Farman, is
more fully at home in the child’s wonder-land than any
other living American writer. She is thoroughly _en
rapport_ with her readers, gives them now a sugar plum
of poesy, now a dainty jelly-cake of imagination, and
cunningly intermixes all the solid bread of thought
that the child’s mind can digest and assimilate.—_York
True Democrat._

PANSY’S PAGE.

FOUR GIRLS AT CHAUTAUQUA. By _Pansy_. 12 mo. Illustrated $1 50

The most fascinating “watering-place” story ever
published. Four friends, each a brilliant girl in her
way, tired of Saratoga and Newport, try a fortnight
at the new summer resort on Chautauqua Lake, choosing
the time when the National Sunday-school Assembly is
in camp. Rev. Drs. Vincent, Deems, Cuyler, Edward
Eggleston, Mrs. Emily Huntington Miller, move
prominently through the story.

HOUSEHOLD PUZZLES. By _Pansy_. 12mo. Illustrated 1 50

How to make one dollar do the work of five. A family of
beautiful girls seek to solve this “puzzle.” Piquant,
humorous, but written with an intense purpose.

THE RANDOLPHS. By _Pansy_. 12 mo. Illustrated 1 50

A sequel to Household Puzzles, in which the Puzzles are
agreeably disposed of.

GRANDPA’S DARLINGS. By _Pansy_. 16 mo. Illustrated 1 25

A big book, full of “good times” for the little people
of the family.
