ILLUSTRATED BY THE AUTHOR_ Price $1.25 It is the story, told in most fascinating style, of the honey bee, how it is born, how it lives, how it gathers honey, and all about it, not omitting its sting. The bee is credited with powers of reasoning, and the troubles of the queen bee in retaining her throne are set forth in a delightfully fairy-story-like way which will win every child that reads it.--_The Times, Philadelphia._ Probably no branch of natural history is more interesting than the bee people, and when told by an appreciative student is doubly so.

Few writers on life's history give so much of it in a space so limited.--_The Nation, New York._ * * * * * Life and Love _ILLUSTRATED BY THE AUTHOR_ Price $1.25 Margaret Warner Morley has written in "Life and Love" a bo
