=By Emma Marshall, author of "Fanny and Her Friends," "Master Martin," etc., etc. 12mo. Cloth. Illustrated. $1.00.=
A quaint story of the fourth century which maids of the twentieth century will thoroughly enjoy. Hyacintha is the daughter of one of the most noble houses of Rome, and as such she is permitted to enter the Temple of Vesta as a Vestal Virgin; the greatest honor possible to a daughter of Rome. The charm and simplicity of life in the Temple of Vesta are beautifully described, and a tender little love story gives to the book the needed touch of romance.
