The trials and blessings of old age are discussed helpfully here for people of advancing years. The same optimism of the book commends it to the healthy minded no less than to the mortal who looks out drearily upon old age.

Mother Goose. [Only true Mother Goose]; ed. by Edward Everett Hale. [†]60c. Lothrop.

A facsimile reprint of “The only true Mother Goose” as published in Boston in 1833, including the odd-looking woodcuts. Dr. Hale has furnished an introduction to the book “which setting aside the Goose fable, is really a valuable collection of political squibs and old songs, any where from a century and a half to three centuries old.” (N. Y. Times.)

Mother-Light: a novel. [†]$1.50. Appleton.

“This book places in the suburbs of Trenton, New Jersey, the headquarters of an extraordinary religious cult, something after the Theosophical order. Three hundred pages are devoted to describing its mummeries and the emotions and experiences of a young woman from Ida Grove, Iowa, its chosen high priestess, or ‘Mother-Light’.”—Outlook.
