So here is given an illustration from thebook which has been written by Mrs. Diaz, whose William Henry Let-ters have made her so great a favorite and friend of all readers of thismagazine. Her subject is The Entertaining Story of King Bronde*, hisLily and his Rosebud, and while the form she has chosen is that of akind of fairy tale, it will be found that there is much to be learned from itabout the beauties and advantages of a patient, pleasant, helpful, generouslife. The first picture represents the Kings Lily, — that is, his wife;. and the second shows his Rosebud, — that is, his daughter, — watchingthe sea with a fisher-boy who was her playmate ; while in the third thereis shown the Rosebud, now grown to be a woman, walking with the Princeher husband. Of course there are many more engravings in the book, andall are drawn as prettily as these, by Mr. W. L. Sheppard.
