Slaves of Chance. By FERRIER LANGWORTHY.
With five portraits of the heroines, from original drawings by
Hiel.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, gilt top, 350 pages. $1.50
As a study of some of the realities of London life, this novel is one
of notable merit. The slaves of chance, and, it might be added, of
temptation, are five pretty girls, the daughters of a pretty widow,
whose means are scarcely sufficient, even living as they do, in a
quiet way and in a quiet London street, to make both ends meet.
Dealing, as he does, with many sides of London life, the writer
sketches varied types of character, and his creations are cleverly
defined. He tells an interesting tale with delicacy and in a fresh,
attractive style.
Her Boston Experiences. By MARGARET ALLSTON (nom de plume).
With eighteen full-page illustrations from drawings by Frank O.
Small, and from photographs taken especially for the book.
Small 12mo, cloth decorative, gilt top, 225 pages. $1.25
A most interesting and vivacious tale, dealing with society life at
the Hub, with perhaps a tinge of the flavor of Vagabondia. The story
has appeared serially in _The Ladies' Home Journal_, where it was
received with marked success.
