Experiments in economical cooking, brightly and interestingly related. Her Strange Fate. By CELIA LOGAN. "'Her Strange Fate' belongs to that healthy sensational school, at the head of which stand the works of Chas. Reade, wherein the romantic and dramatic sides of real life are depicted. There is no morbid analysis, no feverish imagination. No one who begins the book will be willing to lay it down until the last page is reached."--_Philadelphia Press._ A Blue-Grass Thoroughbred. By "TOM JOHNSON." A richly colored picture of a comparatively unknown but wonderfully interesting section of the United States, the Blue-grass region of Kentucky. From end to end the book is a rapidly moving panorama of brilliant pictures. A Slave of Circumstance. By E. DE LANCEY PIERSON. "An interesting work."--_N. Y. Herald._ "A book well written; continually alluring, especially in the love scenes."--_Washington National Republican._ "The very first paragraph of the book arouses the reader's interest, and that interest is maintained to the end."--_Sunday News._ "It is extremely interesting, vividly national, and develops an unusually original idea."--_Baltimore American._ The Shadow of the Bars. By E. DE LANCEY PIERSON. "A brilliant and interesting love-story."--_Boston Commonwealth._ The Black Ball. By E. DE LANCEY PIERSON. Mr. Pierson's latest and best work, alive with humor and genuine pathos, at once fantastic and intensely human. A Dream and a Forgetting. By JULIAN HAWTHORNE. "A delightful story, told with a charming idyllic sweetness by this successor of the Seer of Salem."--_Texas Siftings._ "Without much doubt the best piece of work that Mr. Hawthorne has yet turned out. It is intensely interesting."--_Springfield (Mass.) Union._ "If it has a fault it is that of brevity."--_Cleveland Leader._ "One of the most perfect pieces of work that Mr. Hawthorne has ever done in fiction. It has the Hawthorne atmosphere, the imaginative beauty, the touch of the mystic in it."--_Boston Traveller._ The Professor's Sister. By JULIAN HAWTHORNE. "There is no other American writer of the day who can present a mystery and unfold it in all its details with such consummate skill as Hawthorne."--_Richmond States._ "Is, without doubt, not only one of the very best that this author has yet achieved, but it is not too much to say that it will rank with the strongest novels that have been given to the public in years."--_Nashville American._ "Human passions and actual life are well mixed into the warp and woof of the plot, and some striking characters are evolved in admirable narrative, and colloquial style."--_N. Y. Truth._ Kisses of Fate. By E. HERON-ALLEN.
