[Prudy Keeping House by Sophie May]@TWC D-Link bookPrudy Keeping House CHAPTER XII 12/33
Our readers will find a good deal in them about Prudy, for so many things are always happening to her that the author finds It impossible to keep her out." SOPHIE MAY'S "LITTLE-FOLKS" BOOKS. [Illustration: "There were a few articles to be ironed for the bride; and Prudy had a mind to try the Jewish flatirons; so, with Barbara's leave, she smoothed out some handkerchiefs on a chair."] SPECIMEN OF "LITTLE PRUDY" CUTS. SOPHIE MAY'S "LITTLE-FOLKS" BOOKS. LITTLE PRUDY'S STORY BOOK. "This story book is a great favorite with the little folks, for it contains just such stories as they like to hear their aunt, and older sister tell; and learn them by heart and tell them over to one another as they set out the best infant tea-set, or piece a baby-quilt, or dress dolls, or roll marbles.
A book to put on the book-shelf in the play-room where Susie and Prudy, Captain Horace, Cousin Grace, and all the rest of the 'Little Prudy' folks are kept."-- _Vermont Record_. * * * * * LITTLE PRUDY'S COUSIN GRACE. "An exquisite picture of little-girl life at school and at home, and gives an entertaining account of a secret society which originated in the fertile brain of Grace, passed some comical resolutions at first, but was finally converted into a Soldier's Aid Society.
Full of life, and fire, and good advice; the latter sugar-coated, of course, to suit the taste of little folks."-- _Press_. * * * * * LITTLE PRUDY'S DOTTY DIMPLE. "Dotty Dimple is the plague of Prudy's life, and yet she loves her dearly.
Both are rare articles in juvenile literature, as real as Eva and Topsy of 'Uncle Tom' fame.
Witty and wise, full of sport and study, sometimes mixing the two in a confusing way, they run bubbling through many volumes, and make everybody wish they could never grow up or change, they are so bright and cute." SOPHIE MAY'S "LITTLE-FOLKS" BOOKS. [Illustration: LITTLE PRUDY'S CAPTAIN HORACE.] "You wide-awake little boys, who make whistles of willow, and go fishing and training,--Horace is very much like you, I suppose.
