By GRACE GREENWOOD. The author says n her preface, "I have long felt
that the wonderful story of the life of the Queen of England--of her
example as a daughter, wife and mother, and as the honored head of
English society--could but have, if told simply, yet sympathetically, a
happy and ennobling influence on the hearts and minds of my young
country women." That she has fulfilled her task in the most graceful and
fascinating manner all will admit who read the pages of this
delightfully interesting life. 12 _me, cloth, illustrated_, $1.50.

Immortal old Fables the same fortunate service which some years ago she

hammer to the construction of a cabinet. Its chapters are not wholly
confined to carpentry, but give detail instruction in other matters dear

admirable help in the direction of industrial training. $1.00.
