of scrap metal for shipment.
Some *A«1 <mlUs require certain

This version of the well-known
'story that is loved by all, confines
itself to the first half of the book,
and begins that memorable Christ-

her sick husband and Jo sells her
beautiful bale to help finance the
trip. It ends just'a ySar later,' when
the happy family is again preparing
to celebrate not only Christmas, but
the retiym of Mr. March.
In between these two events, we
again live, laugh and love, and cry
with Meg, Jo, Amy, and Beth, as
they go through the many trials and
tribulations that have made this
story a classic: Jo rehearses Amy in
the art of fainting in one of her
plays; the girls take over the house-
hold to prove to Hannah that th'y

when peppery Aunt Mhrch stays for
