"'Oh, what a fascinating creature,' said the Man in the Moon, making an eye-gla.s.s with his thumb and fore-finger, and gazing at the lady boarder. 'Are you a widow, mem?'"
SPECIMEN CUT TO "LITTLE PRUDY'S FLYAWAY SERIES."
SOPHIE MAY'S "LITTLE-FOLKS" BOOKS.
LITTLE GRANDMOTHER.
"Grandmother Parlen when a little girl is the subject. Of course that was ever so long ago, when there were no lucifer matches, and steel and tinder were used to light fires; when soda and saleratus had never been heard of, but people made their pearl ash by soaking burnt crackers in water; when the dressmaker and the tailor and the shoemaker went from house to house twice a year to make the dresses and coats of the family."--_Transcript_.
LITTLE GRANDFATHER.
"The story of Grandfather Parlen's little boy life, of the days of knee breeches and c.o.c.ked hats, full of odd incidents, queer and quaint sayings, and the customs of 'ye olden times.' These stories of SOPHIE MAY'S are so charmingly written that older folks may well amuse themselves by reading them. The same warm sympathy with childhood, the earnest naturalness, the novel charm of the preceding volumes will be found in this."--_Christian Messenger_.
MISS THISTLEDOWN.
