  GIRLS OF THE TRUE BLUE: A School Story. By L. T. MEADE. With ten
  Illustrations by Percy Tarrant.                                  6/

      Girls of all ages are sure to be fascinated by the pathetic and
      highly interesting narrative of Nan Esterleigh, the orphan girl
      who makes her home with a friend of her mother's, where she has
      abundance of nice pets, good companions, and an atmosphere of
      wholesome comfort, and where she is quite happy until an act of
      deceit puts her in the power of an older and designing girl, and
      renders her at times very miserable. This wrong-doing is the
      shadow over her life, as she finds when Captain Richmond starts
      the Royal True Blue society, with its prize to be given for the
      best girl who had cultivated every side of her nature--moral,
      intellectual, and physical. She is seriously handicapped, and
      the prize falls, through an error, to the designing girl who has
      ruined her happiness. Misfortune brings this maiden to a better
      mind and true repentance, and Nan comes to her own again in the
      esteem and respect of every one. There are many other attractive
      girl characters in this entertaining story.
