BY CANDACE WHEELER A history of embroidery in America, from the quill and beadwork of the American Indians and the samplers of Colonial days, to the achievement of the present. _Thirty-two pages of illustrations_--some in full color--correlate perfectly with the text and furnish examples for the student or general reader. A book to delight the collector and to be a complete, authentic guide, historically and as to methods, for the art student, the designer, and the practical worker. HOW FRANCE BUILT HER CATHEDRALS BY ELIZABETH BOYLE O'REILLY The Boston _Herald_ writes: "It is a monumental work, of living interest alike to the erudite devotee of the arts and to the person who simply enjoys, in books or his travels, the wonderful and beautiful things that have come from the hand of man.... In a particularly happy fashion, Miss O'Reilly has told the story of the French cathedrals against a human background--of the great men and women of the time." _With 31 illustrations in tint._ _Life Stories of Famous Americans_ MARK TWAIN: A Biography BY ALBERT BIGELOW PAINE Mr. Paine gave six years to the writing of this famous life history, traveling half way round the world to follow in the footsteps of his subject; during four years of the time he lived in daily association with Mark Twain, visited all the places and interviewed every one who could shed any light upon his subject.
