MR. CHUPES AND MISS JENNY : THE LIFE STORY 

 OF TWO ROBINS. By EFFIE BIGNELL. 12mo, 

 cloth, $1.00. 



A charming account of the life in captivity of two birds 

 whose misfortunes made them at first the involuntary com- 

 panions of humankind, and whose affection for their gentle 

 guardian made them unwilling afterwards to leave her for a 

 life of liberty with their own kind. All friends of the birds 

 will detect in the writer of this sympathetic story a true 

 lover of birds, not only from her perception of the most inter- 

 esting of her pets' experiences, but also from her general 

 attitude toward feathered life. The Audubon Society is sure 

 to approve of her because, like its members, she reverses the 

 old saying and really believes that two birds in the hand are 

 worth nowhere near so much as one in the bush. 



FIRST YEARS IN HANDICRAFT. By WALTER J. 



KENYON, State Normal School, San Francisco, Cal. 



Square 12mo, fully illustrated, $1.00. 



This is a handbook of handicraft rather than " sloyd " or 

 manual training, and is intended to show little folks how to 

 make useful things with the ruler, pencil and scissors. It is 

 meant for children, either at home or at school, of from seven 

 to eleven or twelve years of age children who have out- 

 grown the employments of the kindergarten and have yet to 

 attain the growth qualifying them for the forms of handi- 

 craft common in the grammar grades. The materials used 

 are simple and cheap, but tough as leather and beautiful in 

 color and texture. The " models " are really elementary and 

 are things little folks can make, and all of them are real 

 intrinsic things which can be used at home or in school. 

 Many years of intimate acquaintance with children, their 

 ways and their capabilities, have fitted the author for ac- 

 complishing his task with discretion and efficiency.
