Lucllo Is ono of the most successful of the many successors of Elsie Dlnsmore, of Martha Flnley and the Kathto wlifi was the heroine of a long line of girls' stories by C-;an Coolldge. This Lucile book has tho very modern touch, as It concerns the ad ventures, of the mountain summering of a C'ampflro Girls' unit of whom the wholesome and wltchlns Lucllo Is the central figure. The adventures are very real and ery thrilling, too, though they have none of the hectic sensationalism that crops out In somo girls' stories and of course are free from silly "romantics." There Is a mad musician nnd a stolen boy and a gypsy camp. Need more be said to Indicate that this Is a live and lively story? We do not often hear o' red-blooded books for girls, but the modern girl l red-blooded and likes such books. She will certainly like Miss Duf field's newest olumo. 1,1'CIT.n ON THIS HEIGHTS n- Kllzabeth M Duffleld.
