Two Bird-Lovers in Mexico. By C. William Beebe.

A story of the journey of the author, who is Curator of Ornithology of the New York Zoölogical Park, and his wife from Vera Cruz to the Pacific and back.

The volume is copiously illustrated from photographs taken from life by Mr. Beebe.

The Ancient Grudge. By Arthur Stanwood Pier.

When Floyd Halket rescued Stewart Lee from drowning, the debt of gratitude was so heavy that many years passed before it was paid. They were chums in college, loved the same girl, friends in business and society. Through it all a feeling of enmity existed on the part of Stewart. The climax of the story is reached when the "grudge" was squared off.

An Only Child. By Eliza Orne White.

Here is told the story of an only child, her joys and sorrows. Lois has never mingled with school children, having been privately taught. Just as the reader is introduced to her she makes the acquaintance of five children, with whom she goes to picnics, tea parties, Thanksgiving and New Year's celebrations, skating, etc. Katharine Pyle has made the illustrations.
