A BOOK FULL OF “HUMAN” INTEREST. OOUEER PEOPLE By WILLIAM HENRY BISHOP. Author of ‘“DETMOLD.”? Not one story, but a number of charming storyettes, terse, snappy and absorbingly STOMA ae ee ea ee. ei 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 pitiable fraud : The promising boy and the fond patroness are the chief characters in another brilliant character study in ‘Queer People.” . . . 12mo., Cloth.
