A Day with Hans Andersen. By _Jessie Benton Frémont_. A delightful account of a visit in Copenhagen with the dear old Fairy-storyteller of the North. Another beautiful “Souvenir,” as faithful as a photograph. Pictures of American Pastimes. By _F. Childe Hassam_. Stirring full-page pictures of American games, each depicting a picturesque crisis in the sport, and of a sort to make the boys toss their caps and shout “hurrah!” (and the girls long to do the same!) These pictures will include Lawn Tennis, Hockey, Bowling, Quoits, Archery, Foot Ball, Croquet, Polo, Lacrosse, and other popular plays that call for healthful exercise. Little Classics of English Prose, Illustrated. With the purpose of interesting young people in English prose literature which is not all “story,” it is proposed to give occasional selections of brief masterpieces, accompanied by numerous illustrations. _FOR THE C. Y. F. R. U., AND FOR EVERYBODY:_ Some Successful American Women. By _Sarah K. Bolton_. During the publication in the Readings for 1883-4 of Mrs. Bolton’s “little biographies” of successful American men, under the title “How Success is Won,” many parents requested that a series about successful women be prepared for their daughters; in accordance are given now the examples of a dozen bright, strong, and prosperous women _who have succeeded_ in their chosen work. Twelve papers, with portraits. Wonder-Wings, Mellangongs, Colossii, and Others. By _C. F. Holder_, of the N. Y. Central Park Museum of Natural History. Twelve marvel-chapters of animal life, as true as strange. Illustrations by J. Carter Beard. A Young Prince of Commerce. By _Selden R. Hopkins_, Commercial Counsel. A well-known authority and writer on business practice and commercial usages has written for the young folks a serial story of a boy’s career, from a penniless youth to a young millionaire, as valuable as it is exciting and inspiring, showing that ledgers, stocks and bonds are as romantic and potent weapons in the hands of a young man with a knightly soul as ever were lance and shield in the days of old. The girls too come in for a good share of the young “prince’s” honor, and the story shows how many business ventures are made successful by the tender “power behind the throne.” Twelve chapters, with forms, laws and usages. Our Asiatic Cousins. By _Mrs. A. H. Lenowens_, the Eastern traveller. Entertaining and instructive. Studies of our kindred in the far fatherland of the race, tracing the relationships and delineating the great family traits. With many illustrations. Ways to Do Things. By various authors. Practical handiwork for young folks. The new series of these popular papers will open with a delightful needlework article, “Baby’s Shoe,” by _Mrs. Jessie Benton Frémont_, to be followed by _Mrs. Annie Sawyer Downs’_ and _Amanda B. Harris’_ instructions (two articles), “How to Write a Composition.”
