  _UNDER FALSE COLOURS._

  By SARAH DOUDNEY. With 12 full-page Illustrations by G. G. KILBURNE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, $1.50.

  A story which, while it is eminently suitable for girls' reading becauseof the purity of its style, its genuine pathos and healthy sentiment,has in it so strong a dramatic element that it will attract readers ofall ages and of either sex. The incidents of the plot, arising from thethoughtless indulgence of a deceptive freak, are exceedingly natural,and the keen interest of the narrative is sustained from beginning toend. It is worthy of the high reputation attained by the author as awriter of stories interesting as novels and destined for the delight ofthe home circle.

  "This is a charming story, abounding in delicate touches of sentiment and pathos. Its plot is skilfully contrived. It will be read with a warm interest by every girl who takes it up."--_Scotsman._

  "Sarah Doudney has no superior as a writer of high-toned stories--pure in style, original in conception, and with skilfully wrought-out plots; but we have seen nothing from this lady's pen equal in dramatic energy to her latest work, _Under False Colours_."--_Christian Leader._
