A BOOK FULL OF “HUMAN” INTEREST. QUEER PEOPLE By WILLIAM HENRY BISHOP. Author of ‘““DRIMOLD.’’ Not one story, but a number of charming storyettes, terse, snappy and absorbingly | There is a delightful 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 pitiablefraund . . . . The promising boy and the fond patroness are the chief characters in another brilliant character study in ‘‘Queer People.”? . . . 12mo., Cloth. Price, $1.00.
