A MIDNIGHT GUEST. A Detective Story. By Fred M. White. With a
frontispiece.

The scene of the story centers in London and
Italy. The book is skilfully written and makes

end.

THE HONOUR OF SAVELLI. A Romance. By S. Levett Yeats. With cover and
wrapper in four colors.

Those who enjoyed Stanley Weyman's _A Gentleman

that has engulfed him. * * * There is more
tonic value in Sister Carrie than in a whole
shelfful of sermons.

account of her experience is magnificent. The
masterly handling, the glowing style of the
book, give it a literary rank to which very few
