It is a good book, strong and well written. which will “Sir Harry," considered by Archi- bald Marshall the best novel that he has written, is certainly better than some, but one can hardly consider him able to outdo himself in some other ways. It is a story of a young man brought up in an ancient castle by his aristocratic grandmother. He meets and falls in love with a young Bo- hemian artist, much to his grand- mother's horror and apprehension. How fate works out salvation for all concerned will interest everyone. All who read Archibald Marshall will be eager to read this new volume, and many who have not discoVered this greatest of modern realists, will read it with surprise and pleasure. Richmond’s “Red and Black" is not a continuation of her other Red Pep- per Burns Stories, but it does relate more fiction of the life of that “pep- py” and popular man. Black, of the ry, is a new clergyman in the stone ‘church, and his winning of Red from jawkward skepticism about Black’s power and attitude toward life, to ad- miring recognition of Black’s fine achievement, makes 'a story worth reading. The community life and its circumstances seem very like those of our own town. The portraits of the fine and lovable woman whom Black loves, and the trifling little flirt who makes so much trouble, are drawn in Mrs. Richmond's characteristic style. The Public Library is open free to all from nine in the morning until noon, from one in the afternoon until six and from seven until nine every week day, Monday to Saturday. The magazines are always here for your use, that is, when the printers deig‘n to publish them, The minority sure- ly is causing privation to a large num- ber of people. A great number of books and short stories are on the table in the north alcove. They were gathered for sup- plementary reading by the classes in literature at the high school. They have nearly finished with them, and the books will be released for reading by the general public. In this day of busy lives, Hie short story is a prime favorite, so an exhibit of famous short stories will appeal to a great many people of varied tastes and interests. The short story is essentially a moâ€" dern product and the authors are mo- dern writers such as 0. Henry, Poe, Thomas Bailey Oldrich, Kipling, Ste- venson, Mark Wain, J. M. Barrie, Kate Douglas Wiggin and Edith Wharton, and others.

Come to get an armful and make this the pleasantest Christ- mas vacation you have ever had. You may have only Christmas day “06," perhaps not even that long a holiday, but you can stretch the spirit of gai- ety over weeks and weeks during your free time, and make life seem really quite a holiday, if you want to and know how to go about it. Just try and see! not surprising that boys should find it unusually interesting. This volume is up to date, simple, and yet adequate. Full directions are given throughout on the practical side as to how to make the simple apparatus necessary, how to rig up a good-enough labor- atory and how to conduct advisable experiments. “The Boys’ Book of Chemistry” by Charles Ramsay Clarke is a new book of a kind which boys find tremen- dously interesting. The science of the future which promises great develop- mént seems to be chemistry so it is lLeo will tell Japanese and Chinese fairy stories, and Mr. Ralph Leo will sing Japanese Nursery rhymes. To hear Mrs. Leo is a great treat, al- ways, but with the added attraction of the songs, it will be an especial good time.

Dated at Highland Park, Illinois, November 27th A.

D. 1919, and the lawful expenses of such proceeding, the ordinance for said supplemental special assessment being on file in the office of the City Clerk of said City, and having applied to the County Court of Lake County for an assessment of the costs of said improvement, accdrding to benefits, and a supplemental special assess- ment thereof having been made and returned to said court, the final hear- ing thereon will be held on the 13th day of December A.

Supplemental Special Ashen-tent No- tice No. 241 Notice is hereby given to allpe -sbns interested that the City Council of the City of Highland Park, County of Lake, and 2State of Illinois, having ordered that a sup- plemental special usessment be lev- ied to pay the deficiency of the cost of the work and interest for the con- struction of a connected system of water mnina in Woodland Avenue from Sheridan Road to Groveland Av- enue; Groveland Avenue from Wood- land Avenue to Lambert Tree Avenue; Lambert Tree Avenue from Groveland Avenue to Ashland Place; Ashland Place from Lambert Tree Avenue to Oakland Avenue; Oakland Avenue from Groveland Avenue to St. Johns Avenue; end St. Johns Avenue from Oakland Avenue to Woodland Avenue,‘ ! a 1 l in the City of Bmhlnnd “The Boy Scouts Year Book” for 1919 has also come. It is as largej as the previous volumes, and what doesn’ t it contain! Here are articles on ftrapping, aeroplane travel, success in1 business, camping, comic stories, fur-f niture, life in an African Jungle, andi such a variety of other subjects. If 1 people who complain that they find it difficult to understand their boys would just try to think and read and talk about (not all) but some of the varie- ty of things of which these same boys think and read and talk, I wonder if they wouldn' t soon discover a strong“ invisible bridge across the gulf which” leads to understanding. I would recâ€" smmend Boy Scouts books to every? mother and father as well as to all boys. If I, myself, could live up to the Scouts’ Oath I would consider life' well lived. Every organization is best characterized by the literature it is-: sues so to know the Scouts know their , 1 literature. The Public Library will 1 help you. ' ' j “The Bey Mechanic,” which lus been issued m huge volumes, now adds a third of equal size, with one thous~ and new things for a boy to do. They are alluringly illustrated. Even the most pmshc person would find the pages interesting but to the boys who are experimenting and “msking things" it will be fascinating beyond words. :give the reader seven or eight hour-1 of delight.
