WE TWO ALONE IN EUROPE.

By MARY L. NINDE. Illustrated from Original Designs.

12MO., 348 PAGES. PRICE $1.50.


The foreign travels which gave rise to this volume were of a novel and
perhaps unprecedented kind. Two young American girls started for "the
grand tour" with the father of one of them, and, he being compelled to
return home from London, they were courageous enough to continue their
journeyings alone. They spent two years in travel--going as far north as
the North Cape and south to the Nile, and including in their itinerary
St. Petersburgh and Moscow. Miss Ninde's narrative is written in a fresh
and sprightly but unsensational style, which, with the unusual
experiences portrayed, renders the work quite unlike the ordinary books
of travel.


"In these days when letters and books about travels in Europe have
