rness Ways" is written in the same intensely interesting style as its predecessor, "Ways of Wood Folk." The hidden life of the wilderness is here presented by sketches and stories gathered, not from books or hearsay, but from the author's personal contact with wild things of every description. SECRETS OF THE WOODS 184 pages. Illustrated. List price, 50 cents; mailing price, 60 cents This is another chapter in the shy, wild life of the fields and woods. Little Toohkees, the wood mouse that dies of fright in the author's hand; the mother otter, Keeonekh, teaching her little ones to swim; and the little red squirrel with his many curious habits,--all are presented with the same liveliness and color that characterize the descriptions in the first two volumes. The illustrations by Charles Copeland are unusually accurate in portraying animal life as it really exists in its native haunts. WOOD FOLK AT SCHOOL 186 pages. Illustrated. List price, 50 cents; mailing price, 60 cents The title of this new book suggests the central thought about which the author has grouped some of his most fascinating animal studies. To him "the summer wilderness is one vast schoolroom in which a multitude of wise, patient mothers are teaching their little ones the things they must know in order to hold their place in the world and escape unharmed from a hundred dangers." This book, also, is adequately illustrated by Charles Copeland. A LITTLE BROTHER TO THE BEAR 178 pages. Illustrated. List price, 50 cents; mailing price, 60 cents This latest book in the Wood Folk Series contains observations covering a period of nearly thirty years. Some of the chapters represent the characteristics of animals of the same species, and others show the acute intelligence of certain individual animals that nature seems to have lifted far above the level of their fellows. The book is well illustrated and is the most noteworthy contribution to nature literature during the past two years.
