THE BOW OF ORANGE RIBBON.
With Frontispiece.
This exquisite little romance opens in New York City in “the tender
grace” of a May day long past, when the old Dutch families clustered
around Bowling Green. It is the beginning of the romance of Katherine,
a young Dutch girl who has sent, as a love token, to a young English
officer, the bow of orange ribbon which she has worn for years as a
sacred emblem on the day of St. Nicholas. After the bow of ribbon
Katherine’s heart soon flies. Unlike her sister, whose heart has found
a safe resting place among her own people, Katherine’s heart must rove
from home--must know to the utmost all that life holds of both joy
and sorrow. And so she goes beyond the seas, leaving her parents as
desolate as were Isaac and Rebecca of old.

to the winning of her love he set himself. The long days of summer by
the sea, the nights under the marvelously soft radiance of Shetland

woman, alien in traditions, adjusted themselves to each other. And the
day came when Jan and Sheila wed, and then a sweeter love story is told.
