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.
