THE DAUGHTERS OF A GENIUS. By Mrs De Horne Vaizey. With six Illustrations by John Menzies.
The six children of a musical genius are left alone in the world to fight their way, and this story gives a narrative of their brave endeavors in a London flat.
They are a clever and attractive group: Philippa, stately and dignified, with clear-cut aquiline features and dark hair; pretty and soft-eyed and golden-haired Hope, all unselfish anxiety for the good of others; Theo, with an air of distinction and a clever and interesting face; sagacious Madge, ever alert and quick to act; and the boys Stephen and Bernard. How each member of the family used his or her gifts for the benefit of the family and the outside world is here pleasantly developed in a story which is blight and sparkling and full of natural charm.
