=A Child's Garden of Verses.= By R. L. STEVENSON.
Mr. Stevenson's little volume is too well known to need description. It
will be heartily welcomed in this new and attractive edition.
=Little King Davie.= By NELLIE HELLIS.
The story of a little crossing-sweeper, that will make many boys
thankful they are not in the same position. Davie's accident, hospital
experiences, conversion, and subsequent life, are of thrilling interest.
=The Sleeping Beauty.= A MODERN VERSION. By MARTHA B. DUNN.
This charming story of a little fishermaid of Maine, intellectually
"asleep" until she meets the "Fairy Prince," reminds us of "Ouida" at
her best.
=The Young Archer.= By CHARLES E. BRIMBLECOM.
A strong and wholesome story of a boy who accompanied Columbus on his
voyage to the New World. His loyalty and services through vicissitudes
and dangers endeared him to the great discoverer, and the account of his
exploits will be interesting to all boys.

Here is a fairy story indeed, one of old-fashioned pure delight. It is
most gracefully told, and accompanied by charming illustrations.
=A Small Small Child.= By E. LIVINGSTON PRESCOTT.
"A Small Small Child" is a moving little tale of sweet influence, more
powerful than threats or punishments, upon a rowdy of the barracks.
=Peggy's Trial.= By MARY KNIGHT POTTER.
Peggy is an impulsive little woman of ten, whose rebellion from a
mistaken notion of loyalty, and her subsequent reconciliation to the
dreaded "new mother," are most interestingly told.

A sweet and graceful story of a little boy who loved his country;
written with that charm which has endeared Miss Saunders to hosts of
readers.

ALPHONSE DAUDET.
All who have read it will be glad to welcome an old favorite, and new
readers will be happy to have it brought to their friendly attention.
=Wee Dorothy.= By LAURA UPDEGRAFF.
A story of two orphan children, the tender devotion of the eldest, a
boy, for his sister being its theme and setting. With a bit of sadness
at the beginning, the story is otherwise bright and sunny, and
altogether wholesome in every way.
