A BOOK FULL OF “HUMAN” INTEREST. oe PLOPLE By WILLIAM HENRY BISHOP. Author of ‘‘DETMOLD.”’ Not one story, but a number of charming storyettes, terse, snappy and absorbingly MGUE PES ELIOT (7 grace gs ous ck OAT ore che gti oh 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 f The promising boy and the fond patroness are the chief characters in another brilliant character study in ‘‘Queer People.’’ -y2mo., Cloth.
