DICK:

A Story for Boys and Girls, by ANNA CHAPIN
Ray. One vol., 12mo, 280 pp. 38 illustrations by
FRANK T. MERRILL, $1.25.

The hero is a Western boy who in accordance
with a distant relative’s will comes to live witha
very prim and precise maiden lady. At first, as
would naturally be the case, there is considerable
friction, but it does not take long for the impulsive,
warm-hearted boy to find his way to his elderly
cousin’s heart, and she, on the other hand, displays
herself so genuinely good and unselfish that the
boy loves her warmly. The story relates to school-
days and school-friends, and Miss Ray, who knows
the genus boy thoroughly, provides excellent com-
rades for her hero. There is a most frolicksome
and amusing monkey, who in the development of
the plot causes some exquisitely comical situations.
“Dick”? overflows with humor, and is certainly
one of the most natural and entertaining of Miss
Ray’s stories. It will be warmly welcomed by all
who have made the acquaintance of her ‘ Half
Dozen Boys” and “ Half Dozen Girls!”
