THE HE New York School of Applied Design for Women was organized for the purpose c affording to women practical instruction which will enable them to earn a livelihood b the application of ornamental design to manufacture and the numerous arts and crafts.

No fixed period for the course of instruction is established. Each pupil is allowed t proceed as rapidly as she masters the successive steps in the course of instruction, and she allowed to pass from the Elementary Department to that of the Applied Design whenever he attainments justify the promotion.

The ability and industry of each pupil thus largely determines her rate of progress an the length of time during which she will be obliged to remain in the School, but the El mentary Department is intended to cover a year and a half for those students who have ha no previous instruction in drawing.

No examination is required for entrance into the Elementary Course. Students are liberty to choose which of the Advanced Departments to enter after passing the require examinations.

Old Paris

By Henry C. Shelle

The fascination of old Paris, its social, historical and literary associations is
the theme chosen by Mr. Shelley for his latest book. And that it was truly a
work of love with him is attested by the interest of his story It is a book to be
read, and read swiftly, for it makes no pretense to the quality of a guide. The
author has much to say on old hotels, restaurants, cafes and inns, and draws
many graphic pictures of the old-time life that was so largely passed in these
public places. Chapters on the salons, the clubs, pleasure resorts. fairs, fetes
and theatres round out an interesting volume that is as welcome as it is pleasant.
The illustrations, which are numerous, are reproductions of old prints.

The New China

L. C. Page & Co.

By Henri Bore

This timely book has been written by the official Chinese interpreter in the
Dutch East Indies, who combines an unusual aptitude for close observation
with unusual facilities for making observations in his chosen field. As a con-
sequence of his official position in the Dutch East Indies, it was natural that his
interest should extend from the Chinese in the Dutch Colonies to the Chinese in
China. And as a result of extended visits and much travel he has written a
book in which he brings before the reader what is now going on in the oldest
and most populous of all nations—a revolution so subtle, so swift, so complete,
and so tremendous in its far-reaching influences upon the whole world that no
event within the memory of any now living can equal it in importance.

Three Wonderlands of the American West

By Thomas D. Murph

He

In this volu ne Mr. Murphy turns to our own country and both text and pictures
tell a story that may well engage the attention of any one interested in the
beauty and grandeur of natural scenery. The book will come as a revelation to
many who have had a vague notion that there may possibly be something
worth seeing in America-after one has "done" Europe. The author himself
admits of such skepticism before he made the tour described in the book.
says, "I found myself wandering if there could be such an enchanted land as
Mr. Moran portrays-such a land as weird mountains, crysta! cataracts, and
emerald rivers, all glowing with a riot of coloring that seems more like an
iridescent dream than a sober reality" A tour through the three wonderlands
gives the answer-neither pen nor picture has ever told half the story The
sixteen illustrations from original paintings by Thomas Moran come nearer,
perhaps, than anything excepting a personal visit in presenting to the eyes the
true grandeur of the wonderlands described; and these are supplemented by
thirty-two splendid photographs, reproduced in duogravure.

L. C. Page & Co.

A book of rare and deep interest. M. Cain, who is Curator of the great Musee
Carnavalet in Paris, and has written many fascinating volumes on his beloved
city, here opens up fresh pages of the past with that delightful touch and
personal charm that few writers on the gay French capital possess. He brings
old Paris into the light of the modern day, views it, indeed, from the modern
standpoint, and thus adjusts certain older aspects of its life to modern times.
No lover of Paris-and who is not?-will willingly pass this book by. A
multitude of illustrations, mostly reproductions of old prints, add immensely to
the interest of this lively volume.

Price, $2.50; carriage extra.

The Recovery of the Ancient Orient

Duffield and Co.

By Robert W. Rogers

Professor Rogers in this little book has told the fascinating and at times romantic
stories of the recovery of Ancient Egypt by the reading of her inscriptions, the
recovery of the history of Israel and its setting forth in a new light by the pro-
cesses of Higher Criticism, and the excavation and decipherment of the
Babylonian and Assyrian inscriptions. Perhaps these three stories were never
before told in so small a compass by a scholar so intimately associated with two
of them and familiar with all three.
