THE LINDA LANE SERIES
By Josephine Lawrence
"For Girls from 12 to 15"
Barse & Co.


"The trouble with Linda Lane," said Mrs. Quincy, "was that she 'couldn't get along with folks.'" As everyone knows, a girl needs friends to lover (sic) her and believe in her. It isn't to be wondered at that Linda wasn't happy. Then little Miss Gilly came to the rooms of the Society, the only home Linda knew, and took the girl home with her. A new life begins for Linda, and she finds, to her surprise and delight, how to get along with people, how to make friends, and slowly and surely how to be happy.

Linda admires independence above all other traits of character. She has plenty of that quality herself and she is the kind of girl who not only cheerfully fights her own battles, but those of the weaker who cannot defend themselves. She is "bossy," lovable, impatient, and loyal, a born manager, whose plans invariably work out to satisfactory conclusions, and Linda has a definite plan which gradually unfolds in these books written about her -- the sort of plan only a girl without a home and parents of her own could think of and carry to completion. Linda Lane knows what she wants and she is willing to work and trust to her own efforts to make her wishes come true."
