Published over two years ago, _Her Majesty the King_ is more popular
to-day than at any time since its publication. It is plainly not only a
book to read but to recommend to your friends.

Irish Mist and Sunshine
_A BOOK OF BALLADS BY
REV. JAMES B. DOLLARD_
(Sliav-na-mon)
With an introduction by William O'Brien, M. P.
Small quarto. $1.50
This is a book of ringing Irish ballads that will stir the heart of
every lover of true poetry. "Here and there a verse may be as frankly
unadorned as the peasant cabins themselves in their homely cloaks of
thatch, but every line rings true to life and home and with the tone, as
heartmoving as the Angelus which holds Millet's peasants in its spell,"
from Mr. O'Brien's introduction.
"Father Dollard's ballads have all the fire and dash of Kipling's, with
a firmer poetic grasp," says Mr. Nathan Haskell Dole.

Four Days of God
_BY HARRIET PRESCOTT SPOFFORD_
With about 90 illustrations. Bound in white and gold and purple
Small 4 to $1.00
It is quite impossible to describe adequately the surpassing charm of
this book. We can say simply that it will appeal to every lover of
nature who sees in her manifold beauties the living glories of the work
of God.
No one can write more beautiful or sparkling prose than Mrs. Spofford
and never has she been so absolutely charming as in _Four Days of God_.
The book has about 90 illustrations by Miss A. C. Tomlinson which catch
the spirit of the text to perfection and with the harmonious print and
paper and binding make the book a little gem.

When Half-Gods Go
_A NOVEL BY JULIA MAGRUDER_
Frontispiece in photogravure. 12mo. 330 pp. $1.50
A new novel by Miss Magruder is always sure of its welcome and _When
Half-Gods Go_ will find for her even a wider audience than she has
hitherto enjoyed. It is a fascinating story of social and musical life
in New York, full of human interest and those happy touches Miss
Magruder can do so well. The title is from Emerson's lines "When
half-gods go the gods arrive." In addition to its charm as a story the
publishers think this book will be presented in the handsomest dress
ever bestowed upon a novel. The fascinating frontispiece is reproduced
in photogravure, the book is printed throughout in two colors, the text
being enclosed in remarkably well done decorations, and the cover
design, in colors, is at once delicate and effective.
