The Holiday Quartos in black-and-white for popular use are hardly less rich in their handsome bindings. First of course, are the regular Annuals, WIDE AWAKE “U” and “V,” BABYLAND, OUR LITTLE MEN AND WOMEN and THE PANSY. WIDE AWAKE “U” contains complete serials by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney and Margaret Sidney, “How the Middies Set up Shop” and “A New Departure for Girls;” “V” has the beautiful complete story of “A Girl and a Jewel,” by Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spofford. OUR LITTLE MEN AND WOMEN has the delicious English serial written for it by L. T. Meade. BABYLAND has that dainty dozen of “Crib-Curtain Stories,” by Mrs. Ella Farman Pratt. PANSY has Margaret Sidney’s “St. George and the Dragon” and “Reaching Out,” by Pansy. A quarto volume of CHILDREN’S BALLADS is particularly rich in historical stories. The new edition of the great encyclopædia of poetry, THE YOUNG FOLKS’ GOLDEN TREASURY, has several hundred illustrated original poems. SIGHTS WORTH SEEING is gorgeous with spectacles and carnivals, while the small quartos and the tiny books for the Christmas Stocking People are countless in their rainbowy profusions. One choice volume of short stories for adults is included in the Holiday List, HESTER, AND OTHER NEW ENGLAND STORIES, by Margaret Sidney. This is beautifully gotten up, the artistic covers being designed by Mrs. Henry Whitman; one choice historical novel for young folks, IN LEISLER’S TIMES, a story of Knickerbocker New York, by E. S. Brooks; and one beautiful Wonder Story for the little folks, THE BUBBLING TEAPOT, by Mrs. Lizzie W. Champney. Among the new issues for popular reading are THE LAND OF THE CZAR AND THE NIHILIST, by Rev. J. M. Buckley, LL. D., an illustrated octavo of recent travel. ALL AMONG THE LIGHTHOUSES, by Mrs. Crowninshield (the wife of Commander Crowninshield U. S. N.,) finely illustrated and uniform in size, price and importance with the famous FAMILY FLIGHTS; and SOUVENIRS OF MY TIME, by Mrs. Jessie Benton Frémont, a large book crowded with personal reminiscences of famous people, at home and abroad, celebrated places and notable scenes and events. FAMOUS STORIES, by those royal story tellers, Mary Hartwell Catherwood, David Ker and Charles R. Talbot, make a strong bid for the favor of boys and girls of from fourteen to sixteen; BIB AND TUCKER FOLKS, compiled by Mrs. Humphrey, is crammed full with illustrations, and the two volumes of the FUN FOR THE FAMILY Series is full of jolly stories and pictures. Then for the smaller ones there is WONDER PEOPLE, which tells interesting stories about some curious folks; BABY’S STORY BOOK; JACK, JILL AND TOT; a collection of amusing stories under the title of SO FUNNY; three charming books by Mrs. Humphrey either one of which would be a treasure to the little ones—KINGS AND QUEENS AT HOME, with twenty-four portraits and pictures; QUEEN VICTORIA AT HOME and STORIES ABOUT FAVORITE AUTHORS. All these are quartos in handsome cloth or chromo bindings.
