Doubleday. 3.00

A readable book, beautifully illustrated, ... and in many of its
life-histories much fuller, fresher, and more interestingly
written than any other work on animals that I know.
DALLAS LORE SHARP.

In preparing the present volume the aim has been to produce a
work sufficiently free from technicalities to appeal to the
general reader and at the same time to include such scientific
information relative to our North American mammals as would be
desired by one beginning their study.--_Preface._

The illustrations which accompany these descriptions of the mammals of
North America north of Mexico comprise six plates in color from
paintings by A.B. Dugmore, and ninety-four half-tones from (p. 161)
remarkable photographs from life by Messrs. Dugmore, Carlin, Beebe,
and other expert nature-photographers. Some of the photographs were
taken in the New York and Washington Zooelogical Parks, and some in the
open.

STORIES

The best romance becomes dangerous if by its excitement it
renders the ordinary course of life uninteresting, and increases
the morbid thirst for scenes in which we shall never be called on
to act.

ALCOTT, L.M.
Little Women.
Illustrated by Alice Barber Stephens.
Little. 2.00

Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, are as great favorites with the girls of this
generation as they were with their mothers. The book gives a picture
drawn from the youthful days of Miss Alcott and her sisters, and its
sweet natural home atmosphere and high standards make it one that
should be read by every little woman of to-day.

ALDRICH, T.B.
*The Story of a Bad Boy.
Illustrated by A.B. Frost.
Houghton. 2.00

"This is the story of a bad boy. Well, not such a very bad, but a
pretty bad boy; and I ought to know, for I am, or rather I was,
that boy myself."

This much loved volume should be put in the hands of every (p. 162)
American lad. Mr. Frost's illustrations are delightfully sympathetic.
