HESE three numbers of THE BOOK BUYER cover the period when the great bulk of the year's literature is coming from the presses of the various publishers. They contain all the news of the new books, their authors and the artists who have illustrated them.

They also include signed reviews of the more important volumes in every department of literature, contributed by persons whose signatures are the warrant of their authority.

THE BOOK BUYER is invaluable as an aid in the selection of books for the library or the study, for gifts or for home reading.

If you are a reader, an illustrator, a collector or a lover of books, it is the one magazine that will interest you most.

Subscription $1.50 a year

SOMEHOW I think you will read this letter, because it concerns your boys and girls, or the boys and girls in whom you are interested.

Do you like to see them well fed, well bred, and well read?

Oh, yes, we all do. And in particular we look carefully to the first two conditions, but how about the third-the "well-read" point? Is not the moral and mental state of as much importance for all of us, young or old, as the meals or the manners? To wise feeding, high breeding, we must add right reading. We are too apt to flatter ourselves that we have done our full duty when we have sent the youngsters off to a well - recommended school. Good Schooling But we cannot shift all our Calls for Good responsibilities upon the teachReading. ers. If you are a reasonable, well-balanced, common-sense soul, I'm sure you will agree that too few of us sufficiently realize the need of the growing brain for wholesome reading that is a pleasure and not a task.

But to you who are not yet subscribers, again I wish to remark-and my language is plain that for young folks the most wholesome, enter- The Best Readtaining, and instructive read- ing for Boys and ing to be found anywhere is found in the pages of ST. NICHOLAS.

Girls.

The Editor, Mary Mapes Dodge, and her staff of energetic assistants have made and still make it their life-work to gather the very best fruit of the best available talent in the world-wide field of literature and art. And they have lived and worked right up to this ideal, too-but more about that later. First let me quote the opinions of a few well-known writers whose very names stand for wisdom and integrity.

The poet Whittier said: "ST. NICHOLAS is the best child's periodical in the world."

The Hon. John Hay, our distinguished Secretary of State, said: "I do not know any publication where a bright-minded child
