CHIVALRIC DAYS AND YOUTHFUL DEEDS.

By E S Brooks. Profusely illustrated $2 00

CHIVALRIC DAYS tells the story of certain notable scenes and occasions in the world's history in which the boys and girls of the long ago had both part and lot.

"Chivalric Days" is written in the same entertaining style that made the author's "Historic Boys" one of the leading holiday books of last year. It, however, comprises stories of the girls as well as the boys of the past, and each story is brightened with glimpses of the queer customs and costumes, the manners and the home-life of those far-off days.

"'OH, SIR,' SAID DOLLY, 'LET THE CHILD GO!'
