ngarian embassy is detailed with much humor, great
pictorial power and keen knowledge. The dialogue may be characterized
heartily as crisp, witty, and sparkling. Mr. Chatfield-Taylor proves
himself a past master of epigram; and if society were to talk a tenth
as well as he represents there would be no cause for accusing it of
frivolity.--_Chicago Times-Herald_.

TWO WOMEN AND A FOOL

The story of an actress, an artist and a very sweet girl. The scenes
are laid in Chicago, London, and Paris; in theatres, studios, and
bachelor apartments. It is the history of an infatuation--with moral
interludes.

Mr. H. C. Chatfield-Taylor, whom Paul Bourget has named as the most
promising novelist of American social life, has given us a clever story
in "Two Women and a Fool." The tale is retrospective; one hears it
from the lips of Guy, an artist; and it concerns his love for two
women, a very naughty and an extremely nice one, Moira and Dorothy
respectively. Moira, who becomes a soubrette, leads Guy, who becomes a
successful artist, a tremendous pace, wearying him at length, but still
holding the power to revive him with her look that allures. The
romance leaps from Chicago to London and Paris and back to the Windy
City again. It is steadily entertaining, and its dialogue, which is
always witty, is often brilliant. C. D. Gibson's pictures are really
illustrative.--_Philadelphia Press_.

18mo. Cloth. With frontispiece by C. D. Gibson. Ninth thousand.

THE JESSAMY BRIDE

One of the best stories of recent years. It had no large success on
publication but the sale has steadily increased, every reader
recommending it to others. Mr. George Merriam Hyde writes in the _Book
Buyer_:

"The story seems to me the strongest and sincerest bit of fiction I
have read since "Quo Vadis."

The _Bookman_ says of it:

"A novel in praise of the most lovable of men of letters, not even
excepting Charles Lamb, must be welcome, though in it the romance of
Goldsmith's life may be made a little too much of for strict truth * *
* Mr. Moore has the history of the time and of the special circle at
his finger-ends. He has lived in its atmosphere, and his transcripts
are full of vivacity. * * * "The Jessamy Bride" is a ve
