ce of all its known principles, or in
defiance of them, or both.

"'Whist, or Bumblepuppy?' is one of the most entertaining, and at
the same time one of the soundest books on whist ever written. Its
drollery may blind some readers to the value of its advice; no man
who knows anything about whist, however, will fail to read it with
interest, and few will fail to read it with advantage. Upon the
ordinary rules of whist, Pembridge supplies much sensible and
thoroughly amusing comment. The best player in the world may gain
from his observations, and a mediocre player can scarcely find a
better counsellor. There is scarcely an opinion expressed with
which we do not coincide."--_London Sunday Times._

PHYLLIS BROWNE. A Story. By Flora L. Shaw. Author of "Castle Blair" and
"Hector." 16mo. Cloth. Illustrated. Price, $1.00

"'Castle Blair' and 'Hector' are such good stories that a third, by
the same author, Flora L. Shaw, will be equally welcomed. 'Hector'
was one of the most charming books ever written about a boy.
'Phyllis Browne' is the new story. She is evidently the author's
ideal girl, as Hector was her ideal boy, and a noble, splendid girl
she is. Yet the book is not a child's book; it is _about_ children,
but not for them. The story is far more interesting than most
novels are, and far more exciting. The rash generosity of the
children is beautiful; their free, trustful lives are noble and
sweet; but when they undertake to right social wrongs, and
gallantly set their brave hearts and childish inexperience against
the established wrongs of society, they come to grief, but in no
common-place way. Their dangers are as unusual and on as large a
scale as their characters and courage are. The book is full of
tender and loving things; it makes the heart larger, and brings
back the splendid dreams of one's own youth," says the Boston
correspondent of the _Worcester Spy_.
