f this author is not familiar, and yet it seems as though we must have met it before. No one but an experienced writer could have given us such a charming combination of incident and description. Perhaps some well-known author is testing his real merit by a little masquerade. We will wait, in confidence that such an excellent production will be traced to its rightful source. Briefly, it is a bicycling novel. A jolly party make a tour through northern New England with all the amusing happenings incident to such a trip, not excepting the experiences of the chaperon, who learns to ride that she may better perform her duties. And then--there is a boy. And besides the boy there is the little blind god who shoots his arrows so industriously that the whole party return engaged save the boy, the chaperon, and the poor odd man; and even he makes a determined effort to join the majority; but in his case the Fates are stronger even than the Little Blind God.

DEL GARCIA Neely's Primatic Library Cloth, 50 Cents "This is a modern, up-to-date "society" novel with considerable local coloring and many pictures of life in the "hupper suckles." It describes the career and love experiences of one who eventually becomes Viscountess Landale. The frou-frou and fripperies of nineteenth-century social gatherings and drawing-rooms are here described in analytical detail, while much plot and counterplot go toward the making of a book that is a departure from the usual run of what is ordinarily written under the _genre_ of "novel" literature. For sale everywhere, or sent post-paid on receipt of price. F. TENNYSON NEELY, Publisher, 96 Queen Street, London. 114 Fifth Avenue, New York. ALLIQUIPPA AND DR. POFFENBURGH'S CHARM BY W. A. HOLLAND Cloth, $1.00; Paper, 50 Cents Are tales that deal with life in Pennsylvania, within whose rich valleys and sequestered byways are hidden many phases of quaint and charming life of which the world knows all too little. "Alliquippa" is the story of an Indian prince of the Alleghanies, and deals with pioneer life in that wild region. There is an air of freshness and novelty to these tales which, combined with the interest of the plots, commends the volume to the attention of book-buyers.
