1r2mo., Cloth. SS | oes A BOOK FULL OF “HUMAN” INTEREST. DuUEER > PEOPLE By WILLIAM HENRY BISHOP. Author of ‘“‘DEITMOLD.’’ Not one story, but a number of charming storyettes, terse, snappy and absorbingly interesting ot There is a delightful 4 pen sketch of a woman of small means who aspires to a con- nection with the smart set. Her attempts to disguise the true state of affairs from her out-of-town friends are laughable; but the fun becomes tinged with pathos when she borrows a furnished mansion for an evening, and a rich relative, invited to dine with her, uncloaks the pitiable fraud : The promising boy and the fond patroness are the chief characters in another brilliant character study in ‘Queer People,’ , . , STREET AND SMITH, Mew York and aes Price, $1.00. 3}
