By EDITH REBECCA BOLSTER

Small 4to. Six illustrations by Hermann Heyer. Pictorial cover in color.
Price, $1.00.

"Ethel in Fairyland," by Edith R. Bolster, is a delightful little
allegory. A child falls asleep and dreams that she has a number of
adventures in a wood, where she meets various people personifying the
moral qualities, like bad temper, unkindness, and envy, and learns a
good lesson from them to tell her mother when she awakes the next
morning. The book is written in a way to please both mothers and
children.

A Japanese Garland

By FLORENCE PELTIER

Small 4to. Four illustrations by Genjiro Yeto. Pictorial cover in color.
Price, $1.00.

"A Japanese Garland," by Florence Peltier, is one of the most charming
books for young people published of late. It tells of a Japanese lad,
adopted by an American, who has a number of American boys and girls as
friends, to whom he tells a series of folk-lore tales associated with
the flowers of Japan. The meetings to hear the stories occur at the
different houses of the children, and there is always some sort of
entertainment at the end of the narration, to furnish variety and life.
By means of this story-frame much interesting information about Japanese
customs and superstitions, also social life, is conveyed, while the
picturesque stories hold the attention. The book is appropriately
illustrated by G. Yeto, the noted Japanese artist.
