graying, wrinkled face faintly smiles.
“What a great big boy you are getting to be, Johnny,” she murmurs, in
vague surprise.
That is all. She is gone, and with her departs your last hold upon the
things that were. Your morning is passed forever. It is noon. You must
turn away, irrevocably the man.

THE POET
MISS KATE AND I
-------------------------------------------
BY
MARGARET P. MONTAGUE
Handsomely Decorated and Illustrated. Net, $1.50
Postage, 10 cents
It is impossible to convey the charm of this mountain tale with its
flashes of humor, its intimate touches of nature, and its delicate
love story. It is an idyl. Not only is the story an exceptionally
charming one in itself, but the book is one of the most attractive
of the season in point of manufacture. The binding and frontispiece
in rich color, the page decorations in green, and the numerous
illustrations, fit the book admirably.
A CHRISTMAS CAROL
AND
THE CRICKET ON THE HEARTH
-------------------------------------------
BY
CHARLES DICKENS
With Introduction and Illustrations in Color and Line, by George Alfred
Williams. 4to, $2.00
Mr. Williams is best known to the public as the artist of “Ten Boys from
Dickens” and “Ten Girls from Dickens.” His interpretation of the men
and women, and the abandonment of grotesque caricatures for the
portrayal of the more human side of the characters, marks a new era
in Dickens illustrations.
The book is printed in two colors, handsomely bound, and is the most
attractive edition of the popular Dickens Christmas Books which has
yet appeared.
