By GEORGE ADE
PINK MARSH
A story of the Streets and Town.
There is, underlying these character sketches, a refinement of feeling
that wins and retains one's admiration.--_St. Louis Globe-Democrat_.
Here is a perfect triumph of characterization ... Pink must become a
household word.--_Kansas City Star_.
It is some time since we have met with a more amusing character than is
"Pink Marsh," or to give him his full title, William Pinckney Marsh of
Chicago.... "Pink" is not a conventional "coon" of the comic paper and
the variety ball, but a genuine flesh and blood type, presented with a

16mo. Cloth. Uniform with "Artie." With forty full-page
illustrations by John T. McCutcheon. Eighth thousand. $1.25.
ARTIE

Mr. Ade shows all the qualities of a successful novelist.--_Chicago

Artie is a character, and George Ade has limned him deftly as well as

peculiar type chosen, it is both typical and inimitable.--_Detroit Free
Press_.
16mo. Cloth. Uniform with "Pink Marsh." With many illustrations by
John T. McCutcheon. Sixteenth thousand. $1.25.

IN THE CAGE: A NOVELETTE
With every recent story Mr. James seems to have entered a new field.
"What Maisie Knew" was certainly a wide departure from his previous
work, and "In The Cage," the life of a girl behind the wire screen of
an English telegraph office, is as novel as one could wish. The story
is slight and the incidents are few, but the charm of Mr. James's
style, the absolute precision of his expression, the keenness of the
analysis make the book remarkable in contemporary fiction.
We could not wish for a better representation of the art of Mr. Henry
James. In appearance it is only a sketch of a girl who works the
telegraph in an office that is part of a grocer's shop in the West End,
but as background there is the e
