BIBLIOGRAPHIC KALEIDOSCOPE. WITH BEAUTY AGLOW FROM A WOMAN’S FACE. BY JOSEPHINE M. DAVIS. One of the most popular novels of nineteen hundred. The heroine is charming, and the style quaint and delightful.”— The Washington Post. COMETH UP AS A FLOWER. BY MII.DKKD DEAN. Exquisitely hound in white kid, picked out in silver. Dedicated to Art, Science, Literature, Religion and Society. “ This story is full of beauty, strength and sweetness. The intellectual power of the writer, coupled with the grace of style, render it one of the most delightful productions of this year.” — Washington Post. LIZZIE’S CHERUBS. BY K. GBORGIEN EWING. A series of stories relating to the actions and antics of two little 'army sprites, who turned irresistibly to whatever was beautiful. Although the title and the main idea of the sketches reminds one of Helen's Babies, yet the tricks played by the youngsters are widely different from those narrated by H-. The dictatorial style employed by Miss Ewing in several passages is plainly due to her efforts in managing the Board of Editors of Donnybrook Fair.”—Dickeysville Daily. 20

BIBLIOGRAPHIC KALEIDOSCOPE. LIFE. WIT AND HUMOR. A Collection of Essays. BY LOUISA B. GAMBKALL. Dedicated to M. D. R. “ In this delightful collection of short essays Miss Gambrall maintains her usual bright, witty and original style. “ One of the most interesting of the series is ‘Grip.’ Probably this essay derives its force from the personal experience of the writer. The volume has been highly recommended to the public by such competent critics as Minna Davis Reynolds.”— The Review of Reviews. CAKES AND ALE. BY A. FLORENCE GILL. “After the pessimistic works on social problems which have tlooded the press of late it is refresh- ing to read such a cheery account of the way in which one sociological worker shared the good things of her life with the very poor. The book deals with the problems of the poor from a practical rather than a theoretical point of view, and it is lit up by a happy good humor and wholesome optimism. —Journal of Economics. PORTRAIT OF A GENTLE WOMAN. BY CAROLYN K. GOLDING. ‘‘This quaint little story tells us of troubles and difficulties bravely met and overcome by the courage and gentleness of the heroine. There is no thrilling plot, no blood-curdling adventures, but the tale is enlivened by a spirit of quiet humor. The author dedicates her work to fond memories of the mathematical department. The book is charmingly illustrated in sepia. 21
