It is very happy idea for the author to have her heroine grow up with her readers, and 1t is quite probable that all who read '"The Little Colonel" which was published in 1895 will read '"The Little Colonel; Maid of Honor" But the circle will by no means be confined to old friends, for the vivacious little Kentuckian is making many new ones. The old Ken lucky home is a charming example of what home should be, and parents and children will profit by reading of the happy vacation days there"
 The new book is finely illustrated by Ethelred D. Barry. Price $1,0S at the Edward Malley Companys.
