Marion Park, the daughter of missionaries, is sent to Miss Ashton's boarding school.

Join these girls of Montrose Academy as they plunge into the adventures of a secret society, fall into a scrape with the boys of Atherton Academy, and plan many Holiday festivities. Illustrated with frontispiece and one further plate.
Condition
Good condition. The brown cloth is a little bumped and rubbed to the edges and spine ends, and has a few small stains and marks. There are a few spots of foxing to the title page and frontispiece's tissue guard but the main body of text is in good clean condition. The inner binding secure.
