Mary Louise

Excerpt

You will like Mary Louise because she is so much like yourself.  Mrs. Van
Dyne has succeeded in finding a very human girl for her heroine; Mary
Louise is really not a fiction character at all.  Perhaps you know the
author through her “Aunt Jane’s Nieces” stories; then you don’t need to
be told that you will want to read all the volumes that will be written
about lovable Mary Louise.  Mrs. Van Dyne is recognized as one of the
most interesting writers for girls to-day.  Her success is largely due to
the fact that she does not write DOWN to her young readers; she realizes
that the girl of to-day does not have to be babied, and that her quick
mind is able to appreciate stories that are as well planned and cleverly
told as adult fiction.
