WITH MEN WHO DO THINGS
will be the title of a series of articles telling how two fortunate boys saw something of the wonderful constructive engineering enterprises now under way in and around New York: “Five Hundred Feet Above Broadway,” “One Hundred Feet Below Broadway,” “A Dive through the River-Bed,” “Spinning a Web Across the River,” “Quenching a City’s Thirst,” “Cars that Travel Skyward.” A. Russell Bond is the author of these articles, the man who has written that splendid series of books, “The Scientific American Boy.”
CHARMING ANIMAL STORIES
By Charles G. D. Roberts, one of the most delightful of all writers on Nature subjects, will tell young readers of St. Nicholas this year of “Teddy-Bear’s Bee Tree,” “The Little Furry Ones That Slide Down Hill,” and of many other quaint animal folk. The stories will be attractively illustrated, of course.
TO ADD TO THE JOY
of the younger readers of St. Nicholas during 1913, there will be more of Palmer Cox’s jolly Brownies.
L. FRANK BAUM
the popular author of the popular “Oz” stories, has written one of his very best tales in “Aunt Phroney’s Boy,” which will be one of the good things in the Christmas St. Nicholas.
THE ADVENTURES OF BILLY BOWLINE
is the kind of magical story which all the family reads and rereads. Fanny Y. Cory has made charming pictures for this charming story. Watch for it in the Christmas number.
WHY, OF COURSE
this is only the beginning of the good things coming in the new volume of the St. Nicholas.
