ne has also secured beautiful hashlight
pictures of herds of zebras and ga
zelles.
There are also some fine daylight
pictures in Mr.. Schilling's book, nota-
bly,, those of elephants and rhinOcerOs.
There are some which are by no means
perfect but when the character of the
work is appreciated this viii not seem
strange. The ordinary individual can
not appreciate Mr.. Schilling's work for
what it is worth. No one who has not
hunted big game can know of the
hardships and difficulties which he sur
mounted to secure his pictures and the
material comprised in the work.
The text is written in simple easy
style. 1t is simply the narrative of
naturalist and hunter in which he tells
the story of his work and his pursuit
of game. Especially interesting and
thrilling is his chapter on elephants in
which he tells of the pursuit of a
herd of "a Of the monster pachyderns.

book and even the casual reader will
scarcely put it down until he has

Tales From Dickens is the latest
offering of the Bobbs- Merrill company
Tor Halle Ermlnle RlVeS. Miss Et1VeS
has done for Dickens what Lamb did
for Shakespeare has made him
readable for children. The enormous
bulk of his novels, their quantity of de-
tail, their references that presuppOse
q knowledge of English laws and Gus
toms, render them arduOus tasks for
young folks. Miss Rives, using her
great skill as a story teller. has sim
plified them, putting the outline of the
plot in a clear, connected and definite
form, and retaining the humor, the
pathos. the sympathy which are so
abundant in Dickens and which appeal
so strongly to the heart of child.

Mr.. Parrish has some very strong
characters. Corporal Cassidy. the
Irish soldier. will delight everyone by
his good natured fun and optimistic
outlook on life; and the pugnacious
little fellow, a staunch and helpful
friend to the hero de Coubert, is a
thoroughly good fighter in cases of
emergency, as will be discovered in
the book. Then, there are two charm
ing ladies who have to be protected,
and the hero acts the part of the
chivalrOus escort with exceeding good
grace, and in the end has his reward
in winning the hand of one of the
beautiful women.

Christmas is in the air. Even n the
heaped up desk of the busy club wo-
man its echoes reach, and as she reads
the business letter, her heart is warm
ed by the little message of Christmas
cheer which is tucked in at the last.
Club programmes are full of things
pertaining to the season, from Early
Yule-tide Customs" to The Best Way
to Roast the Christmas Turkey and
club women go from these meetings to
hover over the toy counter, or to buy
some bit Of pretty Huf1nesS SO dear to
the girlish heart, or to find the comfOr-
table chair for the club husband.
Everywhere we find business and
cheer, all is hustle and preparation, and
with it all, let US stop a little to think
of the real significance of the season.
We are so apt to forget that the light
which shines in our hearts, the light
which we are trying to carry into other
lives, these days, is but reflection of
that first light which shone on Judean
hills, centuries ago. Christmas is a
time for remembering, and the most
important thing to remember is to be
thankful for that first Christmas

child out of it, we have but an empty
holiday.
