THE OLDEST OF FOUR
"I don't see any way out!"
It was Natalie's mother who said that, after the awful news had beenreceived that Mr. Raymond had been lost in a shipwreck on the Atlantic.Natalie was the oldest of four children, and the family was left withbut scant means for support.
"I've got to do something--yes, I've just got to!" Natalie said toherself, and what the brave girl did is well related in "The Oldest ofFour; Or, Natalie's Way Out." In this volume we find Natalie with astrong desire to become a writer. At first she contributes to a localpaper, but soon she aspires to larger things, and comes in contact withthe editor of a popular magazine. This man becomes her warm friend, andnot only aids her in a literary way but also helps in a hunt for themissing Mr. Raymond.
Natalie has many ups and downs, and has to face more than one bitterdisappointment. But she is a plucky girl through and through.
"One of the brightest girls' stories ever penned," one well-known authorhas said of this book, and we agree with him. Natalie is a thoroughlylovable character, and one long to be remembered. Published as are allthe Amy Bell Marlowe books, by Grosset & Dunlap, New York, and for saleby all booksellers. Ask your dealer to let you look the volume over.
