BARR'S STORIES DELIGHTFUL TALES OF OLD NEW YORK May be had wherever books are sold. Ask for Grosset and Dunlap's list. THE BOW OF ORANGE RIBBON. With Frontispiece. This exquisite little romance opens in New York City in "the tender grace" of a May day long past, when the old Dutch families clustered around Bowling Green. It is the beginning of the romance of Katherine, a young Dutch girl who has sent, as a love token, to a young English officer, the bow of orange ribbon which she has worn for years as a sacred emblem on the day of St. Nicholas. After the bow of ribbon Katherine's heart soon flies. Unlike her sister, whose heart has found a safe resting place among her own people, Katherine's heart must rove from home--must know to the utmost all that life holds of both joy and sorrow. And so she goes beyond the seas, leaving her parents as desolate as were Isaac and Rebecca of old. THE MAID OF MAIDEN LANE; A Love Story. With Illustrations by S. M. Arthur.

And the day came when Jan and Sheila wed, and then a sweeter love story is told. TRINITY BELLS. With eight Illustrations by C. M. Relyea. The story centers around the life of little Katryntje Van Clyffe, who, on her return home from a fashionable boarding school, faces poverty and heartache. Stout of heart, s
