H. C. CHATFIELD-TAYLOR.

THE LAND OF THE CASTANET; Spanish Sketches, by the author of "Two Women and a Fool," with twenty-five full-page illustrations. l6mo. $1.25.

A collection of rambling sketches of Spanish people and places. Mr. Chatfield-Taylor has written frankly and entertainingly of the most striking features of "The Land of the Castanet." The volume does not pretend to be exhaustive; in no sense is it a guide book—it is intended rather for the person who does not expect to visit Spain than for the traveller.


C. E. RAIMOND.

THE FATAL GIFT OF BEAUTY AND OTHER STORIES, by the author of "George Mandeville's Husband," etc. l6mo. $1.25.

A book of stories which will not quickly be surpassed for real humor, skillful characterization and splendid entertainment. "The Confessions of a Cruel Mistress" is a masterpiece and the "Portman Memmoirs" are exceptionally clever.


GEORGE ADE.

ARTIE; a story of the Streets and Town, with many pictures by John T. McCutcheon. l6mo. $1.25.

These sketches, reprinted from the Chicago Record, attracted great attention on their original appearance. They have been revised and rewritten and in their present form promise to make one of the most popular books of the fall.
