Some new friends and old

 cussion of the great modern force of advertising. It is a book which

 The Dream Girl

 prise to Max and will be to the reader, too. Illustrated. Net $1.00.

 trated, Net $1.25. (Ready.) 



Henry R. Poore, A. N. A. 

 The Conception of Art 



This book is addressed to the question: "What is Art? " The average 

 reader is very hazy in his definition of it — if he has one ■ — and most of 

 the works pretending to enlighten him do but lead him farther afield. 

 Mr. Poore writes with the knowledge of an artist and with the simple 

 directness of a man who has a very practical end in view. Illustrated. 

 Net $2.00. (Ready in May.) 



Cale Young Rice

 the crop has been felt for a long time. Illustrated. Net $1.10.
