  In the original CHEERFUL BOOK, with its rippling play of incident,Sylvia proved herself a bringer of tidings of great joy to many people.In the second book devoted to her adventures, she was a charmingheroine--urbane, resourceful and vivacious--with an added shade ofpicturesqueness due to her environment. In this third story Sylviais a little older grown, deep in the problem of just-out-of-collegeadjustment to the conditions of the "wide, wide world," and in theprocess of learning, as she puts it, "to live as deep and quick asI can." The scene of the new story is laid partly at Arden Hall andpartly in New York and, in her sincere effort to find herself, Sylviafinds love in real fairy tale fashion.

  "There is a world of human nature, and neighborhood contentment andquaint, quiet humor in Margaret R. Piper's books of good cheer. Hertales are well proportioned and subtly strong in their literary aspectsand quality."--_North American, Philadelphia._
