A story of family life. Betty is just ready for college, her brother is studying medicine, her sister is almost able to make her own way in the world, when a sudden catastrophe compels Betty to choose between her own ambitions and her mother's happiness. Betty stays at home and learns many things, among them the fact that duty and success can be combined. The account of her literary ventures will help girls who want to write.
Betty is a spirited, energetic, lovable girl. The style and atmosphere of the story are both better than is usually the case in girls stories.

An out-of-door story for girls which tells how Dorothea Marden went, under protest, from the city to spend the summer at a farm in the New Hampshire mountains; how she met Jo Gifford from South Tuxboro, who had red hair, and knew she shouldn t like her, but did; how Dorothea and Jo, at the farm, fell out with the young folks close by at Camp Comfort; how they carried on the war, with varying success, and how they were sorry that they did so, and how they were glad in the end to make peace.
