Peggy comes from California to New Jersey to live with a brother and sister whom she has not known since very early childhood.

But her good heart carries her through, and her conscientiousness and moral courage win affection and happiness.
The Other Sylvia
Eight-year-old Sylvia learns that girls who are "Kings' Daughters" pledge themselves to some kind act or service, and that one little girl named Mary has taken it upon herself to be helpful to all the Marys of her acquaintance. This is such an interesting way of doing good that she adopts it in spite of her unusual name, and really finds not only "the other Sylvia," but great happiness.
