hole land and turning even the smoke-clouds into
windows of agate whereby men caught faint glimmerings of a dim glory as
yet to be revealed, she turned and held out her hands once more to her
friends. "It is very good to come back to you all, and to dwell among
mine own people," she said, her voice thrilling with emotion; "and I am
glad that Mrs. Hankey's prophecy has come true, and that Elisabeth
Farringdon will be Elisabeth Farringdon to the end of the chapter."

"A FRESH AND CHARMING NOVEL."
The Last Lady of Mulberry.
A Story of Italian New York. By HENRY WILTON THOMAS. Illustrated by Emil
Pollak. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"The Last Lady of Mulberry" is the title of a fresh and charming
novel, whose author, a new writer, Mr. Henry Wilton Thomas, has
found an unexploited field in the Italian quarter of New York. Mr.
Thomas is familiar with Italy as well as New York, and the local
color of his vivacious pictures gives his story a peculiar zest. As
a story pure and simple his novel is distinguished by originality
in motive, by a succession of striking and dramatic scenes, and by
an understanding of the motives of the characters, and a justness
and sympathy in their presentation which imparts a constant glow of
human interest to the tale. The author has a quaint and delightful
humor which will be relished by every reader. While his story deals
with actualities, it is neither depressing nor unpleasantly
realistic, like many "stories of low life," and the reader gains a
vivid impression of the sunnier aspects of life in the Italian
quarter. The book contains a series of well-studied and effective
illustrations by Mr. Emil Pollak.
