_FOOTLIGHTS_,
that weekly illustrated paper published in Philadelphia (pity, isn’t
it?), is a clean (moderately so) paper, chock full of such uninteresting
topics as interviews with actor and actress (bless ’em); book gossip,
news from Paris and London, (dear, old Lunnon), woman’s chatter, verse
and lots more of idiocy that only spoils white paper. It sells for five
cents a copy, or $2.00 a year.
VERY SPECIAL: Send two dollars and _Footlights_ and THE PHILISTINE will
be sent you for one year. Address
THE PHILISTINE,
East Aurora, N. Y.
THE ROYCROFT PRINTING SHOP at this time desires to announce a sister book
to the Song of Songs: which is Solomon’s. It is the Journal of Koheleth:
being a Reprint of the Book of Ecclesiastes with an Essay by Mr. Elbert
Hubbard. The same Romanesque types are used that served so faithfully
and well in the Songs, but the initials, colophon and rubricated borders
art special designs. After seven hundred and twelve copies are printed
the types will be distributed and the title page, colophon and borders
destroyed.
In preparation of the text Mr. Hubbard has had the scholarly assistance
of his friend, Dr. Frederic W. Sanders, of Columbia University. The
worthy pressman has also been helpfully counseled by several Eminent
Bibliophiles.
_The seven hundred copies that are printed on Holland hand-made paper
are offered at two dollars each, and the twelve copies on Japan Vellum
at five dollars. Every book will be numbered and signed by Mr. Hubbard.
Orders are now being recorded, but Book Lovers are requested not to send
remittances until the volume is in their hands._

CATHOLICITY IN ART.
All’s one, all’s one! the critic learns,
Though hostile tastes be frowning;
That poets’ flame where Bobby burns,
Where, too, is Robert, browning.
