COUNTRY NEIGHBORS

"It is not too much to say that 'Country Neighbors' is one of the best series of New England character stories ever brought together.... No writer of fiction touches more nearly the New England character, without exaggeration and without undue emphasis, than Miss Brown."-Boston Transcript.

"Hay resembles Barrie, and like Barrie, he will grow in many ways.
This literary kinship to Barrie is not imitative. It is tribal. It is the voice
of the clan, or its pen rather. . . . It is simplicity; it is unconsciousness;
it is inspiration." - Cleveland Leader.

THE RIGHT STUFF

Two printings

By Ian Hay

Two printings

"His novel is one of the most entertaining of the season, and shows solid qualities which argue a future for the writer. . . . It is a wholesome, readable, vivacious book." - Springfield Republican.

"A sound piece of work. . . . It would be hard, indeed, to find a more winning book." - New Orleans Times Democrat.

"Every page is radiant with
that delicate, whimsical hu-
mor possible only to the
man without egotism, who
refuses to take himself seri-
ously, and to the man of
deep feeling as well, who
only avoids sinking under
the tragedy of things by
playing lightly upon their
surface."

New York Times.

"A compelling tribute to the homely genuineness and sterling worth of Scotch character.” St. Louis Post Dispatch.

"There's a lot of wholesome fun in this book, with a touch or so of pathos to lend balance and a generous share of good, honest, unadulterated human nature.”.

HIS Book is intended first of all for practical use, from the time of the announcement of a girl's engagement to her wedding day. The diary gives opportunity for recording luncheons, teas, "showers," and all other pleasant happenings that accompany an engagement. There are pages for lists of guests invited to the wedding; for a list of gifts received and the dates of their acknowledgment; for descriptions of her trousseau and of her wedding gown, veil, and bouquet; for lists of bridesmaids and ushers; for photographs, newspaper clippings; in fact, for everything that accompanies an engagement and the wedding day.

It is intended, secondly, as a most attractive gift book, worthy of being kept for future years to recall one of the happiest times in a girl's life. It is finely printed, and richly adorned with marginal illustrations by A. D. Blashfield and others. A quality of paper suitable for writing with ink has been used.

No more welcome gift for the bride-to-be is imaginable.

In flexible leather covers, gilt edges; price, $2.00 net, or $2.15 postpaid.
