 What Dress Makes of Us" by Dor othy Quigley, author of Success is for
 You" etc., F. F. Dutton & Co. of New
 York, publishers for sale by the 10. P. Judd company. This book is what it's title indicates, a work bearing upon the art of how to dress well, subject
 in which the ladies are always pre- sumed to be specially interested, while not few of the male gender will bear
 taking lessons on the subject The
 book is aptly illustrated by Annie
 Blakeslee, whose work well enforces the writer's ideas. Says the author in
 her lively preface: "The lines of your
 form, the modelling of your face, are
 they not worthy of your discerning
 thought? Truly! Whatever detracts from them detracts from sculpture,
 painting and poetry and the world is
 the loser" The author sets forth in
 cisively and clearly what style of
 dress are most becoming to the thin, the stout, the angular, the chubby those
 with angular faces and those with
 round faces, the style of bonnet re-
 quired also receiving a goodly share of
 attention. The men are not forgotten,
 but come in for timely advice. Alto
 gether the little book is full of valuable
 hints and suggestion and is readable and written in sprightly vein,
 "The Campion Diamonds" by Sophie
 May author of Our Helen, "The As
 bury Twins" "The Doctors Daughter,
 etc, Lee & Shepard, Boston, publishers;
 for sale by the F. P. Judd company.
 Here is a bright, readable, attractive
 story, illustrative of a beautiful but
 nearly spoiled young wife's carelessness
 regarding the splendid diamond jewelry
 given her by her indulgent and rich
 husband and how the jewels were lost
 and found. A disappointed lovers
 ranking animosity, his deep, dark plot,
 his untimely death in a railroad acci-
 dent and the tragic denouement all
 form a very interesting little tale for a
 leisure hour.
 "A History of Our Country" by Ed
 ward s. Ellis, A. M, Lee & Shepard,
 Boston, publishers; for sale by the F. P. Judd company. For accuracy of statement, clearness of expression
 originality of treatment and fullness of
 illustrations, this work will commend
 itself to all It Is graphic and com plete record of every event of note from
 the earliest visits of the Norsemen to
 the present time. The youth of Amer ica can hardly be impressed too strong ly with the fact that their country is the home of the loftiest civilization and
 of the highest development of art. lit-
 erature.. science, invention, education and true progress, and offers unlimited
 possibilities that are unknown else
 where These lessons are conveyed, in a pleasant manner, to the mind of the
 reader and, whether as book of in- struction for the pupil or private read ing at home, will prove of value to all
 The splendid patriotism that pervades
 the work is a striking feature. Recent events have thrilled the public with
 such a love of country as has not been
 manifested within generation, and it is fitting time to make true patriotism permanent in the minds of future citi-
 zens. Our historian knows how to do this The criticism made on several histories in scholarly review cf last fall was: What they signally fail to
 do, it seems to us, is to make it appear that the events they narrate were, af- ter all, particularly worth while." No charge of this sort can ever be brought
 the tone of the book will leave a whole some influence.

 ure time. The writer's work is already | familiar to a large circle of appreciative readers in her magazine articles.
