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.

TWO WASHINGTON BELLES
by
LESTER M. 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.

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.
