BY BEATRICE HARRADEN.

Things Will Take a Turn. By Bearricn Harrapun.
A New Edition, with 44 Illustrations by Joun H. Bacon. Crown
8vo, cloth elegant, 2s. 6d.

“ Perhaps the most brilliant is Things Wilt Take a Turn. . . , A tale of
humble child lite in East London. It is a delightful blending of comedy and
tragedy, with an excellent plot.”—Vhe Times.

“One of the most pathetic and touching stories for children that we have ever
met with. Little ‘Childie’ is so sweet and so utterly unselfish in her ways, and
her love and devotion to her grandfather are so deep; it makes one wish there
were afew more such Childies to be met within this world. The whole moral tone
of this book is so good that we would advise all parents to read it to their chil-
dven.”—Court Cireular.

“One of the most striking books of the present season. A very touching story,
full of unselfish teaching; is admirably told, and all ends well. In our opinion
such an arrangement is the ideal one for a child’s book.”—School Guardian.

The Whispering’ Winds, and the Tales that they Told. By
Mary H. Desennam. With 25 Illustrations by Paun Harpy.
Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 2s. 6d.

“We wish the winds would tell us stories like these. It would be worth while
to climb Primrose Hill, or even to the giddy heights of Hampstead Heath ina
bitter east wind, if we could only be sure of hearing such a sweet, sad, tender,
and stirring story as that of Hilda Brave Heart, or even one that was half so
good. How Miss Debenham remembered all the winds told her is a puzzle;
but. there is no doubt that these stories are reported verbatim, just as they were
spoken, and there is also no doubt that they are all quite true.”— cadeny.
