PLANNING A HOUSEBOAT 
Will be. a leisure-hour occupation in many a family this winter. House¬ 
boating has come among us to stay, and promises to be even more 
popular than in England itself. Every one who is interested in houseboats 
or who contemplates taking up this feature of outdoor life, should read 
Mr. Albert Bradlee Hunt’s practical, and, at the same time, beautiful work 
on the houseboat and its adaptation to American waters. 
Houseboats arvd Houseboating 
Covers the entire range of its title, considers the use and opportunities of 
the houseboat; their relation t6 city and surburban life; construction, 
furnishing, motive power, and all the thousand and one details, the knowl¬ 
edge of which spells the difference between success and failure in houseboat 
building and houseboat life. 
Details, plans, drawings and specifications illuminate the text, while 
life on houseboats is interestingly described. Some of the more noted 
English and American houseboats and the life thereon are also described 
at length with illustrations. Buckram, heavy paper, sumptuously illus¬ 
trated.

SeLin Lovel's Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danyis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.
