*Abandoning an Adopted Farm.

By Kate Sanborn, author of "Adopting an Abandoned Farm."

12mo

As a promoter of good spirits, a contributor to the gayety of nations, Miss Kate Sanborn has gained a most enviable place among the writers of the day. Everybody laughed over her "Adoption " of her farm. Her "Abandonment" is, if possible more vivacious and entertaining, and in view of the large sales of her former book, the new story of her extraordinary visitors, her agricultural misadventures, and the reasons for her flitting, seems certain to prove one of the most popular books of the season.

*Abbe Daniel, The.

By André Theuriet. Translated by Helen
B. Dole. Fully illustrated. 16mo, cloth,
gilt top..

"The Abbé Daniel" is a charming idyl of
French country home life, in which the interest
lies in the romantic love of the Abbé Daniel's
protégéfor the daughter of his former sweetheart,
for whose defection he had, indeed, out of dis-
appointment, entered the church. The characters
are most vividly portrayed, and, from the very
beginning, arouse the keenest interest and sym-
pathy. The scenery is painted with a masterly
hand, and the style is simply exquisite.

By Mrs. Burton Harrison, author of "The Anglomaniacs." With seven fullpage pictures by Irving Wiles. 12mo, cloth..

A story of contemporary New York society-"deliciously modern in its sketching of the everlasting woman's question." This story, which has just completed a successful course in the Century Magazine, touches a deeper chord than any of Mrs. Harrison's previous works. It is the history of a pure and noble woman, animated with a desire to benefit her sex, and dazzled by the prospect of a higher womanhood, yet hardly understanding the things to be accomplished or the means of their accomplishment. The story moves rapidly from first to last, introducing the reader to fashionable New York drawing rooms, the "swell" clubs, and to the fads of metropolitan society, yet at no time losing sight of the great truth that animates the book.

Baliff of Tewkesbury, The.

By C. E. D. Phelps and Leigh North. Illustrated, 12m0.

...

This is an unusually clever and attractive story of English life in the last half of the sixteenth century, the scene being laid in and about Tewkesbury and Stratford-on-Avon. Shakespeare, as a young man, is introduced as one of the characters, with much skill and with perfect propriety. Will Helps, identified with that "W. H." who is immortalized in Shakespeare's dedication to his sonnets, and Sir Thomas Lucy, often anathematized by young Shakespearean enthusiasts, are also introduced as characters. It is a story of incident, the action is vigorous, the descriptions are vivid and truthful, the interest is well sustained, and the atmosphere is sweet and wholesome.

Under this title, Mrs. Chopin has gathered a small volume containing several tales drawn from life among the Creoles and Acadians of Louisiana. They are manifestly faithful yet spirited representations of characters and customs unfamiliar to far the larger part of the country, but picturesque and altogether worthy of description and literary preservation. The dialect of these semi-aliens is given, but not at such length as to be tedious; and it distinctly aids in imparting to the stories a genuine "local color." These stories are quite out of the beaten track of American tales, and cannot fail to attract much attention.
