This great offer eclipses any ever heretofore made. Charles Dickens was the greatest novelist who ever lived. No author before or since his time has won the fame that he achieved, and his works are even more popular to-day than during his lifetime. They abound in wit, humor, pathos, masterly delineation of character, vivid descriptions of places and incidents, thrilling and skillfully wrought plots. Each book is intensely interesting. No home should be without a set of those great and remarkable works. Not to have read them is to be far behind the age in which we live.

Though the long, frosty nights of the winter are here,
This month is the dawn of a happy new year.
The old year has vanished-has faded and died;
Yet onward and forward on life's flowing tide
The new one will bear us with laughter and joy,
With music and sunshine for each girl and boy;
And may you all live to see many more years,
Free from sorrows and troubles and worries and tears.
Taken from "A Little Folks' Calender for 1897,"
by Clifford Howard, in Ladies' Home Journal.
