"f Every book, like the proverbial-dog. "has its day," and the day for boxed editions with the box costing more than the book tho padded binding, the white and ; gilt and lavender :, creations, has passed with the -holiday season and the day for the appreciation of the literary worth of a book has dawned. In more than one home the lament will go. up that "the book suitable for the Christ mas trade" has found a resting place In their midst. The handsome bindings, the "catchy" titles are proving "a snare and a delusion," and in most cases, but more especially In regard to children's books, ''many of them had better, work out their greatest usefulness In , orna menting the center table tliaji by enter taining a reader. ", But like -the aforesaid dog, they have had their uses, not alone in supplying the demand, of a mystified gift hunter, but the reaction and the desire they produce lor better, , more substantial and more permanent literature,, la worth the price paid for . the worthless gew gaw attractions whlqh the holiday, mar ket unloads, In anticipation of this the publishers have : held back many real works of merit, asking the reviewers to give them attention after the rush of the Christmas trade subsides, and the need of J sub stantlal reading is felt. Among these Is the magnificent production of Johu H. Long, ex-secretary of the navy. "The New ' American Navy," from the press of -The OutlooK company. It Is beaut! fully bound In navy blue -and red, and profusely Illustrated with historic bat tie scenes and portraits of naval offi cers. . In the near future a detailed re view of the subject matter will be given our readers, as it la the desire to review It in its accuracy as compared with contemporary . writers and press ac counts, as well as from its' literary standpoint .-Along the Una of real worth la prom ised, from the publishing house of John Lane. , a series under the title of "The Crown Llbrarle," embracing memoirs, history, belles-letres, poetry, natural his. tory, etc, A unique teature will be that each subject will be bound in a dis tlnctlve color making it easily distin guishable on the library shelves with other books. - Among them will appear Memoirs of Lady Fanshawe," - wife of the Rt. Hon. Sir Richard Fanshawe, am bassador from Charles the Second to the court of-Madrid, written by herself. It is an entirely new edition with in troduction by Beatrice Marshall ana is handsomely illustrated. - : -. "The ' Complete Angler" That dear old, but always new, and never super seded book, will appear under new cover and conditions with an Introduction by Richard La Galllenne. Among the poeta will come a new edition of "The De fense of Guinevere and other Poems," by WUliam Morris. This particular vol ume, will have upward of , 60 illustra tions with head and. tall piece for every poem, by Jessie il. King, whose work has recently created a wave of kindly appreciation from critics of Illustrators of the new school. Each volume of the Crown library series will have a uniform price of $1.50 "A Rare Volume" More than once U heard the lament by scholars that "the profuse Illustrations lit modern books of research and scientific value are dis tracting to study and' weakens the In fluence ot the book." .

Attention was called to tms by the sale of a most remarkable work a few days ago. In London. It waa Flemish manuscript, containing 29G Illuminated designs boldly outlined with the pen and washed with several tints. The book is a production of tho finest fourteenth century workmanship, and it Is said the famous block-books of the fifteenth century are attempted fac similes of this work. ' The Apocalypsls, 8. Johnnie, Ara Morlendl and a medical tract make up the volume, which brought the enormous sum of 950, and went to a private Individual, much to the regret of- many publio libraries. "Queen of the Woods" This may in deed be said to be the year of the re vival of the Indian. Not alone in por trayture, In painting; panels and tanned skin, but in the vogue ror inaian "tog gery" In beads and belts and ornaments galore, but the literature of book and press have alike been colored by 'Indian myths and traditions. A purely Indian magazine Is an accomplished fact An other published Jointly by Indians and negro students at Hampton is a valuable monthly, and many of our papers and standard magazines have departments edited by Indians, but as yet we have few books written by full-blooded In dians. But In "Queen of the Woods" we find this accomplished, by one of the most renowned chiefs of this century. Simon Pokagon, the author, was the son of Leopold Pokagon, the chief of the Pottawatomlea, who. In 1826, at Tippe canoe, and in 1830, at Chicago, ceded to the United States over a million acres of their land, embracing the- ground upon which the city of Chicago now stands. Simon was educated at Oberiin and Twlnsburg; and became a thorough Greek and Latin scholar. He was the first red man to visit Lincoln In the White House. Ha also visited Grant while president and succeeded In hav ing the government pay about $200,000, which was still due his people for their lands. A portion of the book la taken up with a biography of this remarkable man. and many pathetlo incidents ' are FASHIONS FROM NEW YORK (f cranial Special RcrTlee.) . New Tork, Jan. J.

"Caatlltan Days" While not : one of the new "books it is one of the lasting ones, and in spite of the fact that it made its appearance 'nearly 20 years ago, it may Justly be classed with the current popular books.t - - The popularity or prominence of an author may occasionally float a. Worth less book for a limited time but the personality of the writer cannot "fool all of the people all of the time" regard ing the literary merits of a thing. John Hay, the author of -Castlllan Days," has ever been a popular, well loved and lov able man to every American and possibly some of his early writing may have attained popularity on account of the au thorship being traced to "Lincoln's sec retary," but the works that have endured are adding literary fame to a brilliant diplomatic career, and as accomplished as the author is in the latter capacity, his friends sometimes lament its cur tailing his literary career. Mr. Hay has wonderful power of description, and in describing his Journey through- Spain has given it full play.. Written in. Mr. Hay's inimitable style and the conserva tivlsm of Spain is such -that the book is as fresh and vigorous as when written and covers practically the same ground gone over by travelers today, v-'i Hf ; Tha edition Just out has been revised to some extent and some pages omitted from -the earlier editions, which is not considered an improvement ' . . i --The. book, is newly illustrated by, Jo seph Pennell,. who made a special trip to Castile for that purpose, and Includes about . 7,0 pictures. - Altogether It - Is one of the rare books, offered for the holi day season, but with an abiding value.

Facsimile Signature of NEW YORK: A pretty costume Is of combined Ox ford suiting and' leather. The skirt has the seams strapped with' the latter ma terial.

A queer - looking round , hat made En tirely of - leather -' and , trimmed with heavy taffeta bows and a quill 'matches the outfit. The heavy cheviots, slbellnes and golf, cloths are used -for less 'ex pensive outdoor garments. - In most .In stances they are-trimmed with the same material or a silk braid closely stitched down upon the goods. Models designed for stout women have 'little - or no dec oration. V Folds or bands of any i kind shorten and thicken the figure, especi ally If placed girth-like, and for this reason, are avoided by ' ultra-smart women of' low and corpulent: stature. For afternoon wear and Informal dress occasions several .very pretty-toilettes are shown, with lnce ' and spangled , effects and white In" the ascendancy; ,'A striking ly effective gown Is developed In' brpwn sequins over dotted cream white net which, in turn, is built over white taf feta. The spangles. are : applied In rose design on both bodice and skirt.' There is a deep -epauletted yoke which is 'a lat tice of flexible interwoven gold ribbon braids.-' Around this is ans irregular bar etta of brown spangled net which also form'q the sleeves.. The upper. part of the skirt 1 of chiffon and the lower part Is formed of a spangled net flounce Re reath a garniture of dyed Russian .lace. Mantle effects play an Important part in the stylos for, the coming year especially in wraps. These - are 'graceful and can be' draped about the figure in ao toany attractive waya -that ; they are sure, to become popular. Some of the wraps In liKht silks , have the shoulders draped 'with' close fitting! mantles which fall around the form in delightful folds. Trlm Irning'the shoulders are delicious com binations of sllk' apd 'chlffon- arranRPd to make, the shoulders look longer and giving such a decided slope that It is al most Impossible to toll where the arm ol'ls, was or expect- to be.

It Is to be feared or at least the laun dresses will , agree with this - decision that the shoulderette Is to play its part even on'wash waists next summer, for the advance models introduced for tho season at, the-winter resorts show som distinctly: epaulette effects. , A few even have stoles of the same material, several ornamented with 'pearl buttons of straps ot pique. Other waists are shown pro vided 1 with1 packets, applied 'either- ott each- side of the front or Inserted after the approved tailor, fashion' with a little flao finish. :' " Veils for all occaslona are pretty and unique, but' the traveling veil command most attention at present This - in a sort ' of scarf : affair in chiffon aftd matches the color of the gown.
