=Jack Lorimer.= By WINN STANDISH.
Square 12mo, cloth decorative. Illustrated by A. B. Shute $1.50
Jack Lorimer, whose adventures have for some time been one of the
leading features of the Boston Sunday _Herald_, is the popular favorite
of fiction with the boys and girls of New England, and, now that Mr.
Standish has made him the hero of his book, he will soon be a favorite
throughout the country.
Jack is a fine example of the all-around American high-school boy.
He has the sturdy qualities boys admire, and his fondness for clean,
honest sport of all kinds will strike a chord of sympathy among
athletic youths.
=The Roses of Saint Elizabeth.= BY JANE SCOTT WOODRUFF, author of "The
Little Christmas Shoe."
Small quarto, cloth decorative, illustrated and decorated
in color by Adelaide Everhart $1.00
This is a charming little story of a child whose father was caretaker
of the great castle of the Wartburg, where Saint Elizabeth once had her
home, with a fairy-tale interwoven, in which the roses and the ivy in
the castle yard tell to the child and her playmate quaint old legends
of the saint and the castle.
=Gabriel and the Hour Book.= By EVALEEN STEIN.
Small quarto, cloth decorative, illustrated and decorated
in colors by Adelaide Everhart $1.00
Gabriel was a loving, patient, little French lad, who assisted the
monks in the long ago days, when all the books were written and
illuminated by hand, in the monasteries. It is a dear little story, and
will appeal to every child who is fortunate enough to read it.
=The Enchanted Automobile.= Translated from the French by MARY J.
SAFFORD.
Small quarto, cloth decorative, illustrated and decorated
in colors by Edna M. Sawyer $1.00
The enchanted automobile was sent by the fairy godmother of a lazy,
discontented little prince and princess to take them to fairyland,
where they might visit their old story-book favorites.
Here they find that Sleeping Beauty has become a famously busy queen;
Princess Charming keeps a jewelry shop, where she sells the jewels that
drop from her lips; Hop-o'-My-Thumb is a farmer, too busy even to see
the children, and Little Red Riding Hood has trained the wolf into a
trick animal, who performs in the city squares for his mistress.
They learn the lesson that happy people are the busy people, and they
return home cured of their discontent and laziness.
