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.

Joe," "For His Country," etc. With fifteen full-page plates and many
decorations from drawings by Charles Livingston Bull.

"Will be immensely enjoyed by the boys and girls who read
it."--_Pittsburg Gazette._
"Miss Saunders has put life, humor, action, and tenderness
into her story. The book deserves to be a favorite."--_Chicago
Record-Herald._
"This book revives the spirit of 'Beautiful Joe' capitally. It is
fairly riotous with fun, and as a whole is about as unusual as
anything in the animal book line that has seen the light. It is a
book for juveniles--old and young."--_Philadelphia Item._
='Tilda Jane.= By MARSHALL SAUNDERS, author of "Beautiful Joe," etc.
One vol., 12mo, fully illustrated, cloth, decorative cover, $1.50
"No more amusing and attractive child's story has appeared for a
long time than this quaint and curious recital of the adventures
of that pitiful and charming little runaway.
"It is one of those exquisitely simple and truthful books that
win and charm the reader, and I did not put it down until I had
finished it--honest! And I am sure that every one, young or old,
who reads will be proud and happy to make the acquaintance of the
delicious waif.
"I cannot think of any better book for children than this. I
commend it unreservedly."--_Cyrus Townsend Brady._
