"Fascinating throughout, and worthy of the reputation of the author."—Philadelphia Methodist.
WHOM KATHIE MARRIED.
Kathie was the heroine of the popular series of Kathie Stories for young people, the readers of which were very anxious to know with whom Kathie settled down in life. Hence this story, charmingly written.
LOST IN A GREAT CITY.
"There is the power of delineation and robustness of expression that would credit a masculine hand in the present volume, and the reader will at no stage of the reading regret having commenced its perusal. In some parts it is pathetic, even to eloquence."—San Francisco Post.

"The romances of Miss Douglas's creation are all thrillingly interesting."—Cambridge Tribune.
HOPE MILLS; or, Between Friend and Sweetheart.

IN TRUST; or, Dr. Bertrand's Household.
"She writes in a free, fresh, and natural way; and her characters are never overdrawn."—Manchester Mirror.
CLAUDIA.
"The plot is very dramatic, and the dÉnoÛment startling. Claudia, the heroine, is one of those self-sacrificing characters which it is the glory of the female sex to produce."—Boston Journal.

"This is one of this author's happiest and most successful attempts at novel-writing, for which a grateful public will applaud her."—Herald.
