STORIES

Oh for a Booke and a shadie nooke,
Eyther in-a-doore or out,
With the greene leaves whisp'ring overhede,
Or the Streete cryes all about.
Where I maie Reade all at my ease,
Both of the Newe and Olde,
For a jollie goode Booke, whereon to looke,
Is better to me than Golde.
_Old English Song._

ALCOTT, L.M. (p. 109)
Under the Lilacs.
Illustrated by Alice Barber Stephens.
Little. 2.00

The story tells how little Ben and good Sancho, his wonderful trained
poodle, ran away from the circus, and found refuge and happiness with
Bab and Betty in the old home under the lilacs.

BAYLOR, F.C. (Mrs. F.C. (B.) BELGER).
Juan and Juanita.
Houghton. 1.50

This account of the capture of Juan and Juanita by Comanches is
founded on fact. A number of years ago two Mexican children were
discovered by Indians on the other side of the Rio Grande, and carried
away to the Llanos Estacados. After four years of captivity they made
their escape, walking back three hundred miles through a wild country,
and finally reaching their mother. The tale gives an interesting
picture of hacienda life.

BOYESEN, H.H.
The Modern Vikings.
Scribner. 1.25

The author originally related these narratives of life and sport in
the Norseland to his own children.

"For my Vikings love song and saga,
Like their conquering fathers of old;
And these are some of the stories
To the three little tyrants I told."

CRICHTON, F.E. (p. 110)
Peep-in-the-World.
Longmans. 1.25

An altogether charming description of a little girl's happy year spent
with her German uncle in the old family castle. Peep-in-the-World's
friendship with Knut the dwarf, who lives in the forest surrounded by
the animals he loves and cares for, and the founding of an Order of
Knights by the children, are sweet and natural incidents.

DIAZ, A. (M.).
*The William Henry Letters.
Lothrop. 1.00

Written by William Henry during the two years he was away at school.
One of the best books for boys, and they love it. It has high
standards, abounds in homely common-sense, and is very f
