me flows from the lips of "Aunt
Jane."--_Chicago Evening Post._
The sweetness and sincerity of Aunt Jane's recollections have the same
unfailing charm found in "Cranford."--_Philadelphia Press._
To a greater degree than her previous work it touches the heart by its
wholesome, quaint human appeal.--_Boston Transcript._
The stories are prose idyls; the illuminations of a lovely spirit
shine upon them, and their literary quality is as rare as
beautiful.--_Baltimore Sun._
MARGARET E. SANGSTER says: "It is not often that an author competes
with herself, but Eliza Calvert Hall has done so successfully, for her
second volume centred about Aunt Jane is more fascinating than her
first."

"_A howling success_"
AN AMERICAN BABY
ABROAD
_By_ MRS. CHARLES N. CREWDSON
Illustrations by R. F. Outcault and Modest Stein
12mo. Cloth. $1.50
When the American baby's mother hurries off from London to Egypt, where
her husband is ill with fever, the baby, in company with its colored
nurse and a friend of its mother's, follows more leisurely. The trio
stop at Oberammergau to see the Passion Play, in Rome to witness a
special mass conducted by Pope Leo,--in a word, do more or less
sightseeing, until they finally reach Cairo, where much more exciting
events befall them. The description of the places they visit is enhanced
by a pleasant vein of humor, and an attractive love episode sustains the
interest. It is an extremely entertaining story, light and vivacious,
with brisk dialogue and diverting situations--just the book for summer
reading.
A series of characteristic pictures, by the well-known artist, Mr. R. F.
Outcault, and Modest Stein gives additional charm to the volume.
