You are thinking already
How much have got to pay
for fresh pictures every week
the year round and all that
story-telling3 $3.50; but you
may keep your $3.50 till you
see the LITTLE ONES Own.
Let us have your address, if
you have the little ones-any-
where from getting their eyes
open to ten years old-and, if
you will do us the favor of
mentioning any other persons
who ought to know of whole

paper for young children, we'll
send copy each to you and
to them no matter where they |
are-free of course.
Book News, our monthly !
magazine of news about books,
is already well-established (cir-
culation ten thousand).
There are critics enough and
hints about reading enough.
We shouldn't have undertaken
Book News to multiply them.
There is no other way to find
out the fair price of a book but
these TIVE Book News or
fair bookseller-and fair book
sellers are not always handy
by.
Book News is csc. year,
or sc. copy, including post
age. The July number with
portrait of DIR. Holland Tim
othy Titcomb of twenty-five
years ago] is ready.

Now we are settling down
to steady trade in Hamburg
embroideries.
The sales of the past two
weeks have scarcely made an
impression on the stock. If
> we had to begin again we
should use the same words
right over-a storeful-a doz-
en- storefuls-a wholesale stock
"a manufacturers wholesale
stock.
And when we say a whole
sale stock we mean such work
. as to figure and hneness as is
! kept by average stores. Not
one in ten-thousand buys in
Switzerland. Nobody takes
| any hand in making the pat
terms. Too small work for
$ most merchants.
$ What we are selling for half
