THE SPINNER FAMILY

“ You see 
what a beauty 
she is.” 
All wide-awake young people who are attracted by the living things about 
them will find Miss Patterson’s simple story very delightful. It will open 
to them a new and fascinating avenue of investigation. The structure 
and habits of the spiders are all but unknown to most of us, and we are 
apt to regard them as objects to beavoided. But her book makes an appar- 
ently grewsome subject inviting, and will draw them into a new field of 
much interest. Bruce Horsfall, that sympathetic artist of nature, has 
drawn a frontispiece in color, and very many pictures for the text, which 
reveal some of the wonders of the spider’s life, and make the narrative 
doubly interesting. The whole is within the comprehension of a child, and 
yet is so accurate that it may be trusted to state nothing which the facts of 
science do not warrant.
