COOLIDGE, SUSAN (Pseudonym of S.C. Woolsey).
What Katy Did.
Little. 1.25
TO FIVE
Six of us once, my darlings, played together
Beneath green boughs, which faded long ago,
Made merry in the golden summer weather,
Pelted each other with new-fallen snow.
. . . . . . . . . . .
So, darlings, take this little childish story,
In which some gleams of the old sunshine play,
And, as with careless hands you turn the pages,
Look back and smile, as here I smile to-day.
This account of the lively doings of the six little Carrs is full of
action and interest. In the midst of her happy life poor Katy has to
stop and learn, through the invalidism which comes as the result of an
accident, the great lessons of patience, cheerfulness, and living for
others. Happily, in the end, after her battle has been won, full
health returns to her.

Robinson Crusoe.
Illustrated by the Brothers Rhead.
Harper. 1.50
Every child comprehends everything in Robinson Crusoe save one
sole point--what conceivable reason he could have had for feeling
discontented.
