_Send for Prospectus_ [Illustration] THREE HUNDRED THINGS A BRIGHT BOY CAN DO _by_ MANY HANDS _Large Crown 8vo, cloth. 6/- net._ It is evident that many hands make light the work—in this case many hands have succeeded in making bright _this_ work. The volume—a good, big, strong one of 440 pages—is uniform in style with _Three Hundred and One Things a Bright Girl Can Do_. The boys have no reason for worrying because the girls have one more thing to do (a woman’s work is never done, anyway) for herein they will find treasure in bucketsful. Training; gymnastics; walking, running and jumping; hockey and Indian clubs; swimming, rowing and water-polo; paperchasing, football, golf and boxing; skating; angling; canoeing and yachting; butterfly and moth collecting; aquariums; outdoor games; gardening; drawing and painting; ventriloquism; magic and conjuring; keeping pets; fireside amusements; experimenting and science; things a boy can make—all this and more dealt with by expert authors who know what boys want to do. This book ought to be called “The Boy’s Golden Treasury of What to Do—and How to Do It.” _Send for Prospectus_ [Illustration] HOBBIES FOR BOYS _by_ JACQUES REINDORP _Demy 8vo, cloth. 5/- net._ An ideal present for any boy, especially the mechanically-minded youngster.

HOPPÉ _Crown 8vo, cloth. 7/6 net._ Everyone is curious to know how the heights of Mount Olympus have been gained, and especially is this interest aroused in the case of our contemporary novelists, poets and dramatists. Often they are but a name, a nebulous entity emerging out of our enjoyment of their works. Such healthy curiosity is satisfied by this book, which makes a double appeal, the photographs accompanying the essays creating an atmosphere of very real intimacy. The name of the well-known author and critic, Mr. A. St. John Adcock, on the title page is ample warrant that the essays are thoroughly critical and informing, but their chief aim is to complement each portrait with a sketch of the sitter’s personality, to tell the story of his career and indicate to what extent the facts of his life have influenced his outlook and his work:
