4 LITTLE MAID OF OLD PHIIA-

Philadelphia: Penn Publishing Co.
In this, the seventh Of 'The Little
Maid series, the author takes for
her heroine, Ruth PenneH. who.
with her dearest chum, Winifred
Merrill, lives in Philadeluhia at the
time Of its occupation by General
Howe and the British forces. Rutb's
father was with Washington at
Valley Forge, and both little girls
were ardent supporters of the
American cause, and admirers OF
the gallant Frenchman, the MARQUIS
de Lafayette.
Children In IT'S were much like
those OF today and Ruth and her
friends eager as they were for the
warSto end successfully, were fond
of dolls and pets. Yet they kept
their ears open and when Ruth
overheard the plans discussed by
group Of British soldiers, she knew
how to make, good use of her
knowledge. Na-
Written in the same fascinating
style that characterized the other
volumes of this series, each COM
pIete in itself, It makes splendid
reading for the girl OF from seven
to eleven years OF age. Five.
