“It has perhaps rather less of plot and rather more of psychology than the author is wont to give us, but the story has both texture and strength, besides being thoroughly praiseworthy in its ethical implications.” Wm. M. Payne.

* Crawford, Francis Marion. [Little city of hope: a Christmas story.] †$1.25. Macmillan.
A touching Christmas story which tells of an inventor’s intense struggle for a certain scientific triumph, how poverty blocked his way and how his little son constructed a model city—a miniature of the college town where the father had been a professor of mathematics—and wooed and held Hope within its tiny gates. The wife who had sought a position as governess is the good Christmas angel who makes final success a possibility.
