OF THE PRESS. “Lire has come to us, sparkling with wit and radiant with beauty. It is‘a sort of ** phunny phel- low,” published in New York, and is only four weeks old.” It will compete with Puck in the race for all the laurels that fun, joke and wit can win. We pat it on the back and say ‘Go in.'"—Norristowen Larly Times. + THE New York weekly Lire is bright, sharp and witty, without coarseness. There is a manifest im provement in its illustrations. It has not aged suf ficiently to hazard that monotonous ¢reariness which characterizes exclusively ‘funny’ papers, and it is to be hoped its springs of humor may prove perennial if not perpetual."—Chicago Daily News. “THE editors of Lire deserve final success, whether they attain it or not. Its appearance is very thor- oughly in its favor, the illustrations are far beyond the average, and while its fun suggests that of La Vie Parisienne, it has none of the questionable character of the latter sheet. It is far in advance of Puck, both in make-up and literary merit, and every reader will wish it a long and prosperous life."— he Continent. “Lire is the name of a new humorous weekly pub- lication that has lately appeared in New York. The world is already the fatter for its coming, for it is the most irresistibly laughter-provokin, funny paperthat quaint American wits have yet produced. - It is really agem inits way. The wit is bright and polished, without being venomous, and the illustrations are capital, We advise our ten thousand readers to get acopy of Lire."—Trenton, N. F., State Register. “We have before us No. 4 (vol. I) of the new satiri- cal paper, LiFe, published at New York City, We believe this is the venture started by some of theclever paragraphers and pen-and-ink sketchers of the //ar- vard Lampoon. We like the styleof the sheet. The heading is an extremely artistic conceit, and as full of originality as it is le to be. * Mitchell’ is the imprint, The main cartoon, by Kendrick, is also good; and there is a graceful full-page drawing by Gray-Parker—' Suggestions for Sleigh-riding.’ "All of the drawings are after the pen-and-ink style which DuMaurier has brought to perfection. LIFE seems to have a rather finer edge than Puck or The Fudge.” —Cleveland Plaindealer. Clubs, Six l POSTAGE FREE. A. G. Hesixway, “TRUMAN HeMINWay, A. G.
