The Loeb
Classical Library

A new, comprehensive, and uniform series of classical Greek nd Latin texts with parallel English translations of the ìighest quality.

It is the idea of Mr. James Loeb, who has entered upon the undertaking with commendable enthuiasm, to bring the ancient world closer to the modern; to make, in a word, the literary treasures of the ast more accessible to the reader of to-day.

The Editors are E. Capps, Ph.D., LL.D., T. E. Page, M.A., Litt.D., and W. H. D. Rouse, Litt.D., assisted by an Advisory Board of Eminent Scholars.

The latest and best critical texts are used and the translations, which combine accuracy with sound English idiom, are, with rare exceptions, in prose. Each volume is prefaced by a brief biography and contains bibliography and index. The series will cover the period from Homer to the fall of Constantinople.

Issued in uniform binding. Size 6 x 41⁄2 inches, printed in clear type on good paper. Per volume, net, Flexible Cloth, $1.50. Flexible Leather, $2.00. Postage, 10 cents per vol.

to the Most Beautiful
Pictures in America

Now, for the first time, the great public has a chance to see the world-famous paintings which have been brought from Europe by American millionaires, and hung in their private galleries. You can now not only see magnificent full-color reproductions of these wonderful masterpieces, but can have copies for your own home.

THE LADIES' HOME JOURNAL will reproduce, each month, the finest pictures from:

The J. Pierpont Morgan Collection

in New York

The Joseph E. Widener Collection

in Philadelphia

The Benjamin Altman Collection

in New York

The Henry C. Frick Collection

in New York

The George W. Elkins Collection

in Philadelphia

The Charles L. Freer Collection

in Detroit

The Charles P. Taft Collection

in Cincinnati

The John G. Johnson Collection

Each picture will be reproduced in a full page in the Home Journal in its full original colors exactly as it hangs on the wall of the gallery

The four best pictures in each collection will be
shown in their exact original colors; each on a
full page by itself, printed on heavy paper.
You can cut them out and frame them.

These pictures will not be sold separately. The
only way to get them is in the HOME JOURNAL.
The editions will be sold out. No back numbers
will be available.
