Dale, Thomas F. Polo, past and present. [*]$3.75. Scribner.
An authoritative polo handbook. “Mr Dale has succeeded in accomplishing what no previous writer on polo has ever done, that is to present a concise, even graphic, view of the present status of polo throughout the world. The chapters on polo in England, America, India, Australia, and New Zealand, while technical, as the rules of each country are presented in full with illustrative comment, are of peculiar interest at the present time owing to a growing sentiment for an international code of rules.” (N. Y. Times.)
“Mr. Dale has the happy faculty of writing entertainingly for the general reader as well as for the scientific student. His book combines both elements.”

“A short chapter on the elements of polo is as instructive as it can be; and the later portions of the work, which deal with training ponies, stable management, and polo-pony breeding, contain much excellent matter.”

Daniels, Mabel W. [American girl in Munich.] [†]$1.25. Little.
A Boston girl’s account of a year spent as a student of music in Munich. The German life in the little pension, the trials and joys of her fellow students, her professors, and the operas and symphonies she enjoyed, are described in a series of chatty letters to her chum. She meets several real celebrities in the world of music, and weaves into her story a pretty little German love idyl.
“Pleasantly written and full of delightful humor.”
