By LOUISA M. ALCOTT. With fifteen full-page illustrations by Reginald B. Birch. Crown 8vo. Decorated cloth. $2.00.

"Little Men" has never been given to an admiring public in any form so charming as this one. All that was needed to make the tale quite irresistible was such illustrations as are here supplied, fifteen full-page ones instinct with life and movement and charm.--_Boston Budget_.

LITTLE WOMEN: or Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy

By LOUISA M. ALCOTT. With 15 full-page Illustrations by Alice Barber Stephens. Crown 8vo. Decorated cloth. $2.00.

"Books may come and books may go, but 'Little Women' still remains the ideal book for young girls, the best representation of bright, lovable girlhood," say the _Brooklyn Eagle_; and the _Philadelphia Telegraph_ speaks of the pictures as follows: "In drawing women of the Civil War period, Alice Barber Stephens is in her element, and her illustrations are all that can be desired."

AN OLD-FASHIONED GIRL

By LOUISA M. ALCOTT. With 12 full-page pictures by Jessie Willcox Smith. Crown 8vo. Decorated cloth. $2.00.

Of the third book in illustrated edition of the "Little Women" Series, the _Saturday Evening Gazette_, Boston, says: "No better portraits of Polly and Tom could be imagined than those which appear in these pages.... No book of its lamented author has more endearing qualities."

JO'S BOYS, and How They Turned Out

A Sequel to "Little Men." By LOUISA M. ALCOTT. With 10 full-page plates by Ellen Wetherald Ahrens. Crown 8vo. Decorated cloth. $2.00.

Those who were fascinated by the story of the Marsh family in "Little Men" will take a keen interest in the experiences of Mrs. Jo's boys. "The boys are as entertaining as their elders were in their time," says the _Worcester Spy_, "and the story has plenty of life and incident, fun and pathos; its atmosphere is fresh, pure, and wholesome."

"The young folks who have been charmed with Miss Alcott's previous stories," says the _San Francisco Chronicle_, "will read 'Jo's Boys' with avidity." The illustrations by Charlotte Harding are in keeping with the spirit of the author.

Anna Chapin Ray's "Teddy" Stories

TEDDY: HER BOOK. A Story of Sweet Sixteen

Illustrated by Vesper L. George. 12mo. $1.50.

Miss Ray's work draws instant comparison with the best of Miss Alcott's: first, because she has the same genuine sympathy with boy and girl life; secondly, because she creates real characters, individual and natural, like the young people one knows, actually working out the same kind of problems; and, finally, because her style of writing is equally unaffected and straightforward.--_Christian Register_, Boston.

PHEBE: HER PROFESSION

A Sequel to "Teddy: Her Book"
