THE BLYTHE GIRLS BOOKS
By LAURA LEE HOPE

Notes

Titles

"The Blythe Girls, three in number, were left alone in New York City. Helen, who went in for art and music, kept the little flat uptown, while Margy, just out of business school, obtained a position as a private secretary and Rose, plain-spoken and businesslike, took what she called a "job" in a department store."

 

The entire series was written by Elizabeth M. Duffield Ward, who wrote the Lucile Payton series under her own name (1).
