Pretty women before and behind the foot-lights,
artists and their models, literary men
of Bohemian tendencies, these are the
people whom Billy Burgundy has selected for
characterization. True, they speak their
lines in slang, but it is the slang of the
educated, and is always artistic while
delightfully amusing.
Pronounced by press and public one of the
funniest books ever published.
The illustrations are by Outcault,
Swinnerton, Marriner, Rigby, Pal, McAuley,
Lemon, Cobb and Bryans.
Copiously Illustrated.
Price, 75 cents.

EERIE TALES OF "CHINATOWN."
Bits of Broken China
By WILLIAM E.S. FALES
A collection of captivating novelettes dealing
with life in New York's "Chinatown."
The struggles and ambitions of the Chinaman
in America, his loves and jealousies,
his hopes and fears, his sorrows, his joys,
these are the materials on which Mr. Fales
has built his book.
It is a _new field_, and all the more
interesting on that account. The author has
made a life study of his subject; and no one
is better qualified than he to present a picture
of this romantic corner of New York where
lives the exiled Chinaman.
"Bits of Broken China" is undoubtedly
one of the most delightful volumes for
lighter reading published this season.
Bound in cloth.
Gold top.
Fully Illustrated
Price, 75 Cents.

THE GAME OF THE HOUR.
ABC OF BRIDGE
By ELEANOR A. TENNANT.
_From the Brooklyn Eagle_:
"Bridge is not yet so well known as whist,
but an hour's study of this clever little book
ought to be enough to enable anyone to play
with moderate success. It is written mainly
for the instruction of amateurs, but, in addition,
the author, who is herself an expert,
has given numerous hints that will be valuable
to the most advanced player."
