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." LITTLE, BROWN, & CO., PUBLISHERS 34 BEACON STREET, BOSTON "_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. LITTLE, BROWN, & CO., PUBLISHERS 34 BEACON STREET, BOSTON TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Minor changes have been made to correct typesetters' errors; otherwise, every effort has been made to remain true to the author's words and intent.
