If any one wants to read an interesting book, I will tell you
one of Nora Perry's books, called "A Flock of Girls and Boys."
It is a collection of short stories, and tells of the scrapes
they got into and how they got out of them, and it has the
language boys and girls use every day. There is one story that I
was especially impressed with: the name of it is "Major Molly's
Christmas Promise." It was about a little girl who made a
promise to a little Indian girl; and she kept her promise; and
in doing that, although she did not know it, saved her mother's
and father's life, besides her friends having to go to war.
