This is a rare and popular book by
John Habberton, the author Of
Helen's Babies. 1t is published by
T.B.Peterson & Brothers, of Philadel-
ptia, and is sold at 80 cents. 1t is a
book that will 60 straight to the heart
OF every mother in the land, and that
mamma docs not exist who will not
vote it delightful. Natural as life, it
sparkles on every page with delicious
humor, and its occasional pathos is
touching in the extreme, while the
style Of composition betrays a master
hand. The action covers a single day,
but what busy day it is, and how
crowded with important and realistic
events.
