HER LADYSHIP'S ELEPHANT

By DAVID DWIGHT WELLS. With cover by WM. NICHOLSON, 10th Impression.
12mo. $1.25.

A very humorous story, dealing with English society, growing out of
certain experiences of the author while a member of our Embassy in
London. The elephant's experiences, also, are based on facts.

_The Nation_: "He is probably funny because he cannot help it.... Again
and again excites spontaneous laughter, is such a boon that its author
must consent to be regarded as a benefactor of his kind without
responsibility."

_New York Tribune_: "Mr. Wells allows his sense of humor to play about
the personalities of half a dozen men and women whose lives, for a few
brief, extraordinary days, are inextricably intertwined with the life of
the aforesaid monarch of the jungle.... Smacks of fun which can be
created by clever actors placed in excruciatingly droll situations."

_Philadelphia Times_: "As breezy a bit of fiction as the reading public
has lately been offered. Amusing from the first page to the last, unique
in conception, and absolutely uproarious in plot."

_New York Commercial Advertiser_: "A really delicious chain of
absurdities which are based upon American independence and impudence;
... exceedingly amusing."

_Outlook_: "Full of amusing situations."

_Buffalo Express_: "So amusing is the book that the reader is almost too
tired to laugh when the elephant puts in his appearance."
