The white pavilion

by Velda Johnston

KIRKUS REVIEW On they come and they go -- Velda Johnston's heroines always cool in their sleeveless green linen dresses and over their pretty heads in just what, particularly if it's white? Anyway Jennifer goes south to her aunt's home on Dolor Island -- her aunt who has a very young man as husband and then there's a house psychic and a doctor and a competitor for Jennifer who has second thoughts about her first love. Easy as ever for all those other girls.
