Catch words of cheer, compiled by Sara A. Hubbard. [**]$1. McClurg.
Printed in dark green ink with green marginal decorations and a touch of red in the headings, this attractive little volume pleases the eye, while the catch words culled from St. Paul, Cicero, Maeterlinck, Carlyle, Tennyson, Shakespeare, Helen Keller, Ruskin, Goethe, Longfellow, and a host of other writers of all ages, are wisely chosen to bring help and comfort. There is a quotation for each day of the year.

Cather, Willa Sibert. [Troll garden.] [†]$1.25. McClure.
Seven short stories of artist life, emotional psychological, and pathetic, under the titles: Flavia and her artists, The sculptor’s funeral, The garden lodge, A death in the desert, The marriage of Phædra, A Wagner matinee, and Paul’s case.
“Is a collection of freak stories that are either lurid, hysterical or unwholesome, and that remind one of nothing so much as the colored supplement to the Sunday papers. The ‘purple patches’ of learning in the book, like the thrills, seem sewed on here and there, with one eye closed to get the effect.” Bessie du Bois.
