A POPULAR GIRL: A Tale of School Life in Germany. By May Baldwin. With six Illustrations by Jessie Wilson.	3/6
A bright and naturally told story of school-girl life in Germany, in which the contrasts with school life in this country are strongly brought out. The heroine, a good-looking, clever English girl, in a high-class school in Munich, meets with a smart American girl who sins against many of the written and unwritten laws of etiquette by her pranks and the freedom of her manners and speech; yet all the while she is exceedingly liberal, good-hearted, and well-intentioned, and a good friend of the heroine, whom she shields from blame in connection with an act which led to disastrous consequences. The lady principal, Fräulein Luise, one of the best of women, cautions the heroine about her over-anxiety to be the best girl scholar; in spite of this she works openly and secretly for this end, which is gained at the expense, for a time, of her health and memory. It is while the heroine is at death's door that she learns a lifelong lesson that goodness is by far of more importance than cleverness.
COSEY CORNER; or, How they Kept a Farm. By L. T. Meade. With eighteen Illustrations by Percy Tarrant.	3/6
Mrs L. T. Meade, in her best vein, here tells how four children show great ingenuity and cleverness in playing at keeping a farm, and manage to support themselves for a time from the proceeds. It is a wholesome lesson in self-help, and the reader will be inclined to agree with one of the children that 'there never was anything so nice in all the world as was life at Cosey Corner.' Honeysuckle Farm, the farmer and his wife, and the life there are prettily described, and the story is further helped by the eighteen charming illustrations by Mr Percy Tarrant.
'MY PRETTY' AND HER BROTHER 'TOO.' And other Stories. By Mrs Molesworth. Charmingly Illustrated by Lewis Baumer.	3/6
Mrs Molesworth, always happily inspired when she writes for or about children, here presents ten short stories, in which little children are depicted in her inimitable style. Some of them have a Christmas flavour; all convey in an attractive form some lessons which young folks, and old folks too, would be none the worse for learning, as in 'My Pretty,' 'The Gold Scissors,' and 'The Princess and the Fairy,' in which the receipt for happiness is given as unselfishness and shared blessings.
JERRY DODDS, MILLIONAIRE: A School Yarn of Merriment and Mystery. By H. Barrow-North. With six Illustrations by Harold Copping.	3/6
Jerry Dodds is the good-hearted and open-handed son of a South African millionaire, and his fortunes are traced from the time he enters Westpool School until he is kidnapped, and recovered in a marvellous way. There are lively times at Westpool—a fire, a steamer adventure, a feast to his school chums given by Jerry Dodds, and abundant adventures, which any boy will follow with breathless interest. The youth of Westpool School are as bright, healthy, mischief-making, and mirth-provoking youngsters as any boy might wish to know. Out of one prank into another seems to have been their motto.

THE ARGONAUTS OF THE AMAZON. By C. R. Kenyon. With six Illustrations by Arthur Rackham.	3/6
Mr Charles R. Kenyon, author of the popular story, The Young Ranchmen, here tells a thrilling tale of adventure in which three old chums, in the search for the Inca's treasure in the remote regions of the mighty Andes, procure a little steam-launch for the navigation of the Amazon and some of its feeders, such as the Ucayali. Their whole course teems with remarkable experiences and adventures, and the climax is reached when, after several fights with strange tribes, they are shut up as prisoners in the Incala's treasure-chamber. How they escape, discover gold in great plenty, and begin a large colonisation scheme is told in a spirited manner.
