Announcement. ESSRS. BIGTYPE AND SHARPER, the popular pub- lishers, beg leave to announce their Fall and Winter List, and feel confident that in doing sothey will merit the gratitude and thanks of a long-suffering public. A Plain Tale. By Henry James. Written in real English. No sentence over eight words long. Every sentence begins with a noun and has a traceable verb and guaranteed object. Would make a good primer. Easily understood plot. The Higher Life. By W. R. Hearst. A delicate, subtle series of essays on the finer attributes of human nature, ex- quisite in its rendering. Some chapters are ‘‘ Character Build- ing,” The Spiritual Life,” ‘The Brotherhood of Man,” “How to Make the Best of Ourselves,” ‘Cleanliness Next to Godliness,” Etc. The Unknown, By Winston Charchill. This is not a sequel to anything. There is not a historical character in it. No local color. No pedigrees. Heroine is 75 years old. Hero hates her. No love-making. Ends artistically. Time's Revenge. By Dr. S. Weir Mitchell. This is positively the last book Dr. Mitchell will write. The scene is laid in The Century office. Nothing in it about doctors, The Complete Works of J. M. Barrie, These are now issued for the first time. An accomplished editor has gone through Mr. Barrie’s work and carefully taken out all the Scotch dialect and everything that is irrelevant, including descrip- tions, unnecessary conversations, etc. Issued in one small octavo volume. Cap ana Bells, By Mrs. Humphrey Ward. A light, airy book. Fall of witticisms. Not a dull line in it. Nothing about religion. Positively no problem. It will not bore you. “NOW, DAUGUTER DEAR, IP YOU SHOULD HAPPEN TO RUN OVER ANT CUILDREN, DO HURRY AWAY BEPORE THEY GET YOUR NAME IN THE varent” x EVERslighta little nan; he cannot overlook it.
