Soldier and Servant.

By ELLA M.

Story of Puff.

By MRS. C.M.  LIVINGSTON.  It was truly said of the first edition of this little volume, that no more captivating story of bird-life was ever written, and that passages in it were worthy of comparison with those found in “Rab and his Friends.”  It is the autobiography of a canary bird, and every lover of the bird kind will read it with enthusiastic pleasure.  New edition. 16mo, cloth, fully illustrated, $.60.

Sweet Girl Goldie, A WONDER STORY of BUTTERFLY TIME.

A holiday novelty, cut shape of butterfly, with twelve color designs by Miss L.B.  Humphrey.  This really original and charming novelty imitates in outside appearance a large, handsome tropic butterfly; but, on parting the wings, we find between, on a dozen leaves shaped like the wings, the gracefully told story—­a prose poem in fact—­of “Girl Goldie” and her strange adventures with the butterflies.  Miss L.B.  Humphrey, the popular illustrator and winner of the Prang’s Christmas Card Prizes, has designed the wing covers and the twelve exquisite illustrations in colors. $1.25.
