CHICAGO.

IN THE CAGE. A Novel. By HENRY JAMES, author of “What Maisie Knew." 12mo, cloth, uniform with "What Maisie Knew," $1.25.

"We could not wish for a better representation of the art of Mr. Henry James. In appearance it is only a sketch of a girl who works the telegraph in an office that is part of a grocer's shop in the West End, but as background there is the extravagant world of fashion throwing out disjointed hints of vice and intrigue in messages handed in as indifferently as if the operator were only a part of the machine. Nevertheless, she is a woman too, and feminine interest and curiosity so quicken her wits that she is able to piece together the high encounter with life, the large and complicated game' of her customers. This, in fact, is the romance in her life, the awakening touch to her imagination, and it is brought into skilful contrast with the passionless commonplace of her own love." -Academy.

A GOLDEN SORROW. BY MARIA LOUISE POOL. 16mo, cloth, $1.25.

This novel was running serially in Godey's Magazine at the time of Miss Pool's death. It will not, however, be completed in that periodical, but will be issued at once in book form. It is a story of love and adventure in St. Augustine, much more exciting than Miss Pool's stories usually are, but with all her delightful sense of humor.

THE MONEY CAPTAIN. A Novel. By WILL PAYNE. 16mo, cloth, $1.25.

With "Jerry the Dreamer" Mr. Payne was first brought before the public. His present book treats, in fiction form, of the government of our cities by large private corporations and the difficulties a man with wide business interests has to conduct his affairs honestly. It does not aim to show any new solution of municipal problems, but, in a dispassionate way, points out how materially the average community is affected.

A SLAVE TO DUTY, AND OTHER STORIES. BY OCTAVE THANET. 16mo, cloth, illustrated, $1.25.

Miss French has such a thoroughly established reputation among the present reading public that no further introduction to this collection of short stories will be necessary than to say that it is on a par with her previous books.

CHAP-BOOK STORIES.

Second Series.

16mo, cloth, $1.25.

Many well-known names are

This is the second collection of the best short stories from the Chap-Book. included in the table of contents, and the volume will undoubtedly meet with the success which was accorded to the first volume of the series on its appearance two years ago.

ETIQUETTE FOR AMERICANS. By a Woman of Fashion. 16mo, cloth, $1.25.

It is probable that no woman thoroughly qualified to write upon this subject would be willing to sign her name to this book. It is written by a person who is regarded all over the country as an authority upon this subject. Matters of good form are so constantly changing that there is at present a great need for such a book.

THE NEW ECONOMY. A Peaceful Solution of the Social Problem. By LAURENCE GRONLUND, A.M., author of "The Co-operative Commonwealth," etc. 12mo, cloth, $1.25.

In his previous books the author has been criticised for his great dependence on theory, and not enough on fact. In his present work he proves how, by simple and practical methods, society can be materially changed within a short space of time. He advocates many new methods which will be found interesting and instructive, not only to students of sociology but to the average reader as well.

THE VICTORIAN ERA SERIES.

The series is designed to form a record of the great movements and developments of the age, in politics, economics, religion, industry, literature, science and art, and of the life-work of its typical and influential men.

Under the general editorship of Mr. J. Holland Rose, M.A., late scholar of Christ's College, Cambridge, Eng., the individual volumes will be contributed by leading specialists in the various branches of knowledge which fall to be treated in the series.

The volumes will be issued at the rate of one a month. They will be handsomely bound in cloth, with good paper and large type, suitable for the library. Per volume, $1.25.

The following volumes are now ready:

The Rise of Democracy. By J. HOLLAND ROSE, M.A., late scholar of Christ's College, Cambridge (Editor of the Series).

CONTENTS: Portland, Rutland, Salem, Boston, Cambridge, Concord, Plymouth, Cape Cod Towns, Deerfield, Newport, Providence, Hartford, New Haven.

The Romance of the House of Savoy.

1005-1519.

By ALETHEA WEIL, author of "The Story of Venice," "Vittoria Colonna," "Two Doges of Venice," etc. With illustrations reproduced chiefly from contemporary sources.

Two volumes, 12mo.

The history of the present royal house of Italy is full of romantic incidents, but, as far at least as English-speaking readers are concerned, it is thus far but little known. Mme. Weil has had at her command in the preparation of these volumes a large mass of original information, partly in the shape of manuscripts and archives, that have not heretofore been brought into print. The sketches that have been based upon her researches, while gracefully written and popular in style, are, therefore, the result of careful historic investigation.

Where Ghosts Walk.

The Haunts of Familiar Characters in History and Literature. By MARION HARLAND, author of "Old Colonial Homesteads," etc. With 33 illustrations. 8vo.

The clever author of "Colonial Homesteads" has utilized her experiences in Europe and her literary training for the preparation of a series of papers devoted to certain historic places with which are to be connected the names of characters familiar in history and in literature. Mrs. Terhune's descriptions are in each case the result of personal observation.

Alfred Tennyson,

His Homes, His Friends, and His Work. By Elisabeth LUTHER CARY. With illustrations in photogravure. Large 8vo, gilt top.

The work of Miss Cary has been avowedly based upon the large mass of literature which has come into existence in regard to the life, the work, and the environment of the poet laureate. This material has been utilized with good critical judgment, and with an effective literary style.

CLINTON ROSS says in The Chap Book: "The proof of a long book is in the reading of it. . . . The author, an artist, never once obtrudes her personality. The life of the actors is cleverly real, but the high distinction of Free to Serve' is its realization of humanity. It is a notable book-so much better than Hugh Wynne' that if the publishers' claim for that book be true-this novel is greater -it is certainly one of the American novels of the year. And Dutch America has no better representation than E. Rayner's in Free to Serve.'"

The Boston Transcript says: "The book is not the work of a novice; it is fascinating, strong, and of the highest moral tone.. The characters are finely delineated, the varied and rapidly shifting scenes are pictured with the skill of an artist, and the pure moral tone is carried through the whole like a golden thread. We advise all to read the book."

The Philadelphia Call says: "It does for the life and fashions of Old New York what Weir Mitchell's Hugh Wynne' did for Philadelphia. There is plenty of action in the transition from chapter to chapter, some strongdrawn character etching, and an intense vein of human interest. Few will pick up this tale without feeling the charm of its style and the subtle fascination of its subject-matter."

HARVARD EPISODES.

By CHARLES MACOMB FLANDRAU, '95. Crimson cloth, octavo, $1.25.

In this book Mr. Flandrau has departed widely from the usual college story. He has, in a series of short, vivid sketches, drawn the modern "Harvard Man" as he is, not as he has been, or as he ought to be, but truthfully as he is. The book does not, naturally, detail all sides of the present complex Harvard life, but for the side which it does treat, the typical, prosperous, happy side, it does the best thing-tells the truth, and tells it in a most delightful fashion. We feel sure that so accurate a picture of modern college life has not yet been drawn, and that all college men will appreciate this and heartily welcome the book.
