PRESENTS t Christ mas time In drawing near and the over more difficult problem of choosing suitable gifts presents Itself. Probably one of tho most satlnfaclory presents to give Is a book which the glvor knowH will bo enjoyed. Hut therein lies tho whole difficulty what hook will tho per son to whom you aro going to give your present enjoy? You havon't time to rend nil tho now books. Those that you havo read, your friend knows too. Moreover, ho Is of a discriminating mind. Sup posing you, deceived by binding nnd title, purchase ono of those, ituspeakblo dlmo novels that sell for $1.50? It would bo Uko tak-i Ing the wrong umbrella, Impossible, to explain. Tho A. L. A. book list solves that, problem. A. L. A. inonns Anieilcan Library Association and tho A. L. A. book list Is a list pro pared under tho auspices of tho American Library Association pub lishing board. Tho hoard Is not n regular lMibllshor, nor Is It mild by tho publishers to ndvocnto tho now books. Tho A. L. A. publish tho list Independently, not for tho pub lic, hut for the libraries, tho small; libraries especially, all .over tho country. You enn obtain It In tho Mnrsh-, field library freo. Wo keep these lists and nro only too glad to al low their ubo to tho public. Dur ing tho next fow weeks bofore' Christmas, wo will keep our copies on tho "now book shelves," noxt to tho ehnrglng desk. Whnt kinds of books do thoy con tain? According to exnerts, thoy are tho best books published during tho month. No matter which ono of them you choose you won't got a book of which you will be ashnm-j eu inter you nave givon it. aibo, you will not have a list given you of hooks acknowledged!' fine, but too fine for your pockotbook. Not only aro they best, but tho moro in expensive ones. They nro chosen for the small library, which Is nro- vorblally poor. Then too. tho lists! contains nil kinds of books, nrrang nil In snnnrntn crrniins. For the man interested In the Panama Canal or mo rnrmer studying ine ami Jose scnlo, or tho aunt hunting boarding Bchool stories for her nleco, or tho woman going abroad noxt summer, for nil tneso is some-, tlilnc of Rneelnl Interest. ' What information besides the names of books does It give? First of all. it distinguishes Be tween different books on tho list, and Indicates by a Blgn the best of these. Then it gives price, publisher and tho number of pages. Then comeB a brief description of the charac ter and scope of each book, bo inai you will not be misled by a title to give to any one who loveB ao venture a hook 'Iko "Pride nl Preludlce." Tho A. L. A. books are hits tliiin tlu beok reviews, because tier aro not subsidized or Influenced tf the book 'oiiiinnlcB, and are lit work of not one, but several fit sous. Unlike tlic publishers IIi'j, they contain the creditable worM nil publishers Instead of the tort or but one. As n gitldo In choosing jou Christinas honks It will pay yoo only In nionny, but In the lariri satlsractlou that comes In ghltji really acceptable present. Also In this rcirnrd we wii llko to draw your attention ifu , ,i iTiin.i qt rites Catiletif. which contains a full list W it thor, title and subject, of al w for sale up to January IS havo lists that bring this Infonci tlon up to date.
