Parisians Out of Doors
By F. BERKELEY SMITH
Author of "How Paris Amuses Itself" and "The Real
Latin Quarter"
"It is a kaleidoscopic miscellany of anecdote, grave and gay; brief bits
of biography and impressionistic portrayal of types, charming glimpses
into Parisian life and character, and, above all, descriptions of the
city's chief, and, to outward view, sole occupation--the art of enjoying
oneself. Tourists have learned that Mr. Smith is able to initiate them
into many mysteries uncatalogued or only guardedly hinted at by more
staidly respectable and professional guides."--_The Globe_, New York.
"Smith's delightfully sympathetic Paris [Parisians Out of Doors] would
make a wooden Indian part with his cigars."--_Frederic Remington._
"Naturally, these scenes and places and the persons who add the living
touches to the pictures are described from the viewpoint of one who
knows them well, for Mr. Smith holds the world of Paris in the hollow of
his hand. This is an ideal book for summer reading."--_New York Press._
_12mo, cloth, handsome binding, illustrated with drawings by the
author and several French artists, and water-color frontispiece by
F. Hopkinson Smith $1.50 post-paid._
FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY, PUBS., NEW YORK
"Mr. Smith does not go sightseeing in the accepted sense of the word. It

_the people themselves_, and he gets many a view of which the hurried
_tourist_ is altogether ignorant."--_Brooklyn Citizen._
In London Town
By F. BERKELEY SMITH
Illustrated by the Author and other Artists
"The charm of this book lies in its breezy talk, its naive descriptions
and its plenitude of atmosphere. It certainly is a most charming book
and the reader will have a good time 'In London Town' if he goes with
the author."--_Philadelphia Inquirer._
"Everyday life and the living of it after British standards are what Mr.
Smith sought and here reveals. He could not write an unreadable book,
this American artist. It is all interesting that he has to tell of
London Town."--_San Francisco Bulletin._
"The author conscientiously looks for the picturesque and he does much
to show the brighter side of English lif
