Boston YULE-TIDE IN MANY LANDS By MARY P. PRINGLE and CLARA A. URANN =Fully illustrated and decorated= =12mo Cloth Price, $1.25 Net= [Illustration] The varying forms of Christmas observance at different times and in different lands are entertainingly shown by one trained in choosing and presenting the best to younger readers. The symbolism, good cheer, and sentiment of the grandest of holidays are shown as they appeal in similar fashion to those whose lives seem so widely diverse. The first chapter tells of the Yule-Tide of the Ancients, and the eight succeeding chapters deal respectively with the observance of Christmas and New Year's, making up the time of "Yule," or the turning of the sun, in England, Germany, Scandinavia, Russia, France, Italy, Spain, and America. The space devoted to each country has at least one good illustration. "The descriptions as presented in this well-prepared volume make interesting reading for all who love to come in loving contact with others in their high and pure enjoyments."--_Herald-Presbyter, Cincinnati._ "The way Yule-Tide was and is celebrated is told in a simple and instructive way, and the narrative is enriched by appropriate poems and excellent illustrations."--_Cleveland Plain Dealer._ "It is written for young people and is bound to interest them for the subject is a universal one."--_American Church Sunday School Magazine._ * * * * * _For sale by all booksellers or sent postpaid on receipt of price by the publishers_ Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co.
