Miss Ray's New Story for Girls
By ANNA CHAPIN RAY
Author of the "Teddy" books, "Janet: Her Winter at Quebec," etc.
Illustrated by Alice Barber Stephens. 12mo. Decorated Cloth. $1.50
Sidney Straves is another of this author's true, helpful, earnest girl characters.—Denver Republican.
The young heroine is a forceful little maiden of sweet sixteen. The descriptions of picnics in the pretty Canadian country are very gay and enticing, and Sidney and her friends are a merry group of wholesome young people.—The Churchman, New York.
Sidney is a very happy, wholesome girl with a bit of a temper to make her human.—New York Sun.
A book with lots of common sense and thought, but not a bit "preachy." The characters are frank, open, and sensible, and the author knows girls and boys and has real sympathy with them.—Boston Journal.
Her books are always natural and sane, with plenty of action, humor, and sentiment of the right kind.—Providence Journal.

ANNA CHAPIN RAY'S
"TEDDY" STORIES
Miss Ray's work draws instant comparison with the best of Miss Alcott's: first, because she has the same genuine sympathy with boy and girl life; secondly, because she creates real characters, individual and natural, like the young people one knows, actually working out the same kind of problems; and, finally, because her style of writing is equally unaffected and straightforward.—Christian Register, Boston.
