Published by THE CENTl RY CO., New York City (ontlnoed from page ?lev??. it may not be amiss to insist here upon the high percentage in pleasure and profit which books yield on their small cost. They have even been adapted to the requirements of modern living. Their format offers no difficulties in even the smallest city apartment. There is even an added pleasure in the weeding out, the caret ul considera? tions of value and space which the new conditions have brought into the sport of collecting. It is then that books acquire a living quality: and it is then that one begins to make his own definitive selec? tion for the famous five-foot bookshelf, and to plan for making it a ten-foot one. A book a week ?that is one of the fixed charges in many a family budget; it should be the universal one. BUY BOOKS! GIVE THEM AN OPPORTU? NITY TO INTEREST YOU! Children clamor for them?remember that, too! Whatever the toys that tempt them, how? ever ingenious their mechanical contrivances, they must have their books or be disappointed in their Christmas mood. F rom the nursery to their introduction to grown-up literature, they are al? ways reading. It is thus that they gain mo>e edu? cation, more knowledge, often, than from their formal schooling. More American history is taught to our boys and girls by the story-tellers who write for them than by the text-books?and more patriotism. The appeal to the imagination at which modern education aims is made unerr? ingly by such writers as, to name but one of very many, Lverett T. Tomlinson. And do not forget the steadily growing, purposeful and withal romantic literature of the Boy Scout and Camp Girl movements! OLD BOOKS, NEW BOOKS, AND BOOKS OF ALL TIME. Do not insist upon the newness of a book; neither respect books only for their age. lalk about books, and listen to the talk of others. It will help you greatly in making your choice of the gifts you are planning for this season, and it will help you in your own planning for that re? serve of perhaps as yet unrealized pleasure as well. Give thought to your book buying - and consult your bookseller. Shop early, give him time to give you his attention, talk freely with him. Every bookshop in New York has several good salesmen and saleswomen, held in great esteem by collectors and connoisseurs, and they are enthusiasts in their profession. Only give them a chance, and they will convert you from an occasional, holiday, book buyer, into an habitual one. And you will thank them for the service and its results. PERIODICALS AS HOLIDAY GIFTS. Here is a form of Christmas giving which is not nearly sufficiently practised. For children the choice almost automatically suggests itself? "St. Nicholas." For grown-ups the range is in? finite. Reviews for information, magazines that offer both belles-lettres and knowledge, periodi? cals devoted to the interests of women, to sports and fashions, to country life and the house beauti? ful. There are the weeklies. With us they are not so many that they need enumeration. And remember that to many a professional man or woman the authoritative organ of his specialty may be a necessary and yet a luxury not lightly contracted for. At this crisis in the world's history in the mak? ing, periodical literature has, indeed, become al? most indispensable. It supplements the news of the day, sifts it, and, in some measure, fixes what is likely in it to have lasting significance. And a year's subscription as a Christmas gift has the beautiful quality of being a gift twelve times re? newed.
