 Betty Sedon, Patriot" by Adele r. Thompson, author of "Beck's Fortune" illustrated by Lillian Crawford True, l2mo, cloth 300 pages. It is a great deal to say of a book that it is one which d girl would choose for herself for its ab- sorbing interest, and at the same time one that her mother WUuIu Setecl TOT her on account of it's wholesome influ- ence; or in other words that a book is at the same time fascinating and no- ble. This is what Betty Seldom, Pa triot is, and In fact no one of the many who read and admired 'Becks For tune" would expect a book by Miss Thompson to be otherwise. Betty is a bright Connecticut girl, happily as in- dustrious and filial as she is attractive Her devotion to her father, captain In the Continental army, and her experi- ence With a Tory uncle, who appears upon the supposed death of her father and takes her to his home in Pennsyl- vania pretending to be her guardian, form tn basis of the book. Historical events are accurately traced leading up to the surrender of Cornwallis at York town, with reunion and happiness for all who deserve it. Betty is worth a thousand of the fickle coquette heroines | of some later day popular novels, and | the historical setting of the story is | strong and effective. Price SIPS.
