A GOOD AUTOMOBILE STORY.
Baby Bullet.
By Lloyd Osbourne, Author of "The Motor-maniacs." Illustrated.
12mo. Ornamental Cloth, $1.50.
This is the jolliest, most delightfully humorous love story that has
been written in the last ten years. Baby Bullet is an "orphan
automobile." It is all through the adoption of Baby Bullet by her
travelling companion that a dear, sweet, human modern girl meets a very
nice young man, and a double romance is begun and finished on an
automobiling tour through England.
"The story is smoothly written, full of action and healthful
fun."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger._
"'Baby Bullet' is without doubt the best written and most entertaining
automobile story yet published. The most enjoyable feature of this book
is its genuine, unforced humor, which finds expression not only in
ludicrous situations, but in bright and spirited dialogue, keen
observation and natural characterization.'--_St. Paul Dispatch._
"Certain stories there are that a man fervently wishes he might claim as
his own. Of these, 'Baby Bullet' is one."--_Baltimore Sun._
"It is broad comedy, full of adventurous fun, clever and effective. The
tale is fascinating from the start. The adventures of Baby Bullet are
distinctly funny."--_New York Sun._
"The characters are lightly drawn, but with great humor. It is a story
that refreshes a tired brain and provokes a light heart."--_Chicago
Tribune._
"It is a most satisfying and humorous narrative."--_Indianapolis
News._
"One of the funniest scenes in recent fiction is the escape of the
automobile party from the peroxide blonde who has answered their
advertisement for a chaperon."--_San Francisco Chronicle._

A SPLENDID NEWSPAPER YARN.
A Yellow Journalist.
By Miriam Michelson, Author of "In the Bishop's Carriage," etc.
Illustrated. 12mo. Ornamental Cloth, $1.50.
This novel has the true newspaper thrill in it from beginning to end.
The intense desire to "cover" one's assignment completely and well is
brought out in the midst of the melodramatic atmosphere in which a
modern newspaper woman must live. The stories are all true to life, and
mixed with the excitement there is a wealth of humor and pathos.
"There is a dash about 'A Yellow Journalist' that exhilarates like a
fresh breeze on a sharp winter morning."--_Chicago Record-Herald_.
