MIDNIGHT SUN: TSAR and NIHIL

IST. BY JAMES M. BUCKLEY, LL.D. Illustrated, $2.50.

Too good and true to be spoiled by pursuit, she nevertheless but slowly learns to distinguish conjugal love. Her fortune takes her more or less blindly through the school of experience a school that tempers not its exactions. Page 5. Let this stand for our fiction. LITTLE POLLY BLATCHLEY.

FRANCES G. SPARHAWK. $1.

By

If the whole of little Polly's life had been written, it might have been a little dull: but a story here and there is all the brighter for being told at full length. She seems to pick out the very nicest things to do in every chapter; and yet she isn't a bit of a prig.

A rare book, a novel book; as dainty and good as new. Let it stand for another sort of teaching. BYE-O-BABY BALLADS. BY CHarles

STUART PRATT. Drawings by F. Childe Hassam. $1.50 either in one or two volumes. A beautiful color-book. In all but color it stands for our care for the little ones.
