NSON Each one volume, cloth decorative, 12mo, illustrated, $1.90 A book which has established its author in the front rank of American novelists. SMILES, A ROSE OF THE CUMBERLANDS (29th thousand) E. J. Anderson, former managing Editor of the Boston _Advertiser_ and _Record_, is enthusiastic over the story and says: "I have read 'Smiles' in one reading. After starting it I could not put it down.

M. MONTGOMERY Each one volume, cloth decorative, 12mo, $1.90 ANNE OF GREEN GABLES (364th thousand) Illustrated by M. A. and W. A. J. Claus.
