A Mother's List of Books for Children

by Gertrude Weld Arnold

Mr. Stockton had a wise, humorous style of his own. In this small volume, which contains some of his best writing for children, will be found Old Pipes and the Dryad, The Bee-Man of Orn, and The Clocks of Rondaine.

Stories From The Arabian Nights.

Houghton. .60

From centuries and peoples almost as different from those we know as the North and the South Poles are far apart, through the overthrows of dynasties and the movements of whole races of men, by the work of Arabian scholars when printing was unknown, and by the labors of Europeans almost in our own day, these stories have survived to transport us into a world of splendor and magic.--Introduction.

A carefully edited selection of thirteen of these famous tales, with which, of course, every child should be familiar.

Thackeray, W.M.

The Rose and the Ring.
Edited by E.E. Hale.
Illustrated by the Author.
Heath. .25

But in the meanwhile, and for a brief holiday, let us laugh and be as pleasant as we can. And you elder folks--a little joking and dancing and fooling will do even you no harm. The author wishes you a Merry Christmas, and welcomes you to the Fireside Pantomime.
