Another of Mr. Page's delightful Southern stories is here added to the group

Gibson, Irving R. Wiles, A. B. Wenzell, and C. Carleton.
12mo, $ 1.50.
Six of the best short stories that Mr. Grant ever wrote are contained in this
new volume. They are marked by a very manly kind of sentiment, while two
of the stories have an exceptional interest as viewing the matrimonial question
from a new and original point of view. The volume is handsomely illustrated
and bound, and forms a most attractive holiday book.
CONSTANTINOPLE .
By F. MARION CRAWFORD. Illustrated by Edwin L. Weeks.
Square 12mo, $1.50.
No living writer in English has wider knowledge of Constantinople from
personal investigation than Mr. Crawford. His book is admirable alike for its
picturesque descriptions and for the clear manner in which it summarizes in-
formation not accessible elsewhere. The illustrations are the work of the
greatest American artist of oriental subjects, and were drawn directly from
nature and expressly for Mr. Crawford's text.

C. D. Gibson. 12mo, $ 1.25.
" The author knows the college girl-her hopes, plans, ambitions, her life-
and has graphically portrayed her. The stories are all excellent in quality
and some of them are exceedingly bright. Tenderness, pathos, and humor
combine to give them rare attractiveness.--Boston Advertiser.

IT has been said that Mrs. Amélie Rives Chanler was discov-
ered by Thomas Nelson Page, and possibly that may be true.
It is a fact, however, that she made her first start in literature
through the assistance of the accomplished London correspond-
ent of the New York World. He met her in Richmond, and
afterwards took one of her stories to a magazine editor, with the
remark that he was willing to stake his literary reputation on
its being worthy of publication. Some of her music was also
published at the same time, but that attracted no attention.

Specimen Plate from the Calendar of the Brave and Fair.
The most attractive calendars ever offered . One distinctive feature
of these is that they are thoroughly American in spirit. They are the
only important series of Calendars designed by American artists and
manufactured in this country.
The publishers believe that the lithographic work on these has never
been surpassed . It has been their constant aim to make them perfect
facsimiles ofthe original water-color designs, and no expense has been
spared to accomplish this. In some cases, sixteen colors have been
used to produce the effect sought.
Ninety different calendars to choose from, ranging in price from 10
cents to $ 15.00, after designs by such well-known artists as W. GRAN-
VILLE SMITH, E. PERCY MORAN, MAUD HUMPHREY, FRANCIS DAY, and H.
W. McVICKAR.
A descriptive catalogue , containing a complete list of these, will be
sent to any address on application if The Pocket Magazine is mentioned.

In this work the author has followed the same principles which
made his manual so successful , first giving the examples with the
cards, and then showing the principles underlying their management.
The general management of the hand is gone into, and rules are
given for the best course when the plain suits and the trumps are in
certain proportions.
The examples which the author uses throughout the work consist
of 112 hands at Duplicate Whist , played by correspondence between
sixteen of the finest players in America. For every card played in
this match, each of the players had a week to think over the situation ,
and the result has been 112 examples of the very best and most care-
fully studied Whist ever played.
The arrangement and presentation of the subject is quite original ,
and entirely different from that pursued in any other work on Whist,
and the publishers are confident that it will be recognized as the most
comprehensive work ever written on the game. The book is very
handsomely printed.
Square 12mo, Holliston cloth, stamped with title in gold, and a
hand of cards in red ink and silver, gilt edges, $1.25.

she had strained her engines, and,
worse than all, her officers and crew

ZORAIDA * By
Le Queux
A Romance of the Harem and the Great Sahara
" A new light in romantic literature seems to have arisen in the horizon in the
person of William Le Queux. Zoraida ' is most certainly a fascinating
story, written with fine dash, and with a clear idea of the value of incidents. "—
Boston Traveller.
" The best romance we have had for many a long day is Mr. Le Queux's
Zoraida.' . The marvelously vivid local coloring Mr. Le Queux got by perilous
journeys in the Sahara, taken for the purpose. The book is worthy of com-
parison with Rider Haggard's great romances. " -Douglas Sladen, in the London
Literary World.
With 24full-page illustrations of great merit by Harold Piffard.

WE take pride in submitting the following cer-
tificate from the leading chemists in Phila-
delphia :
"We have analyzed the sample of Dobbins' Floating
Borax Soap received from you, and find it contains fully 5
per cent. of borax, and nothing injurious for use in bath,
toilet, or laundry. We therefore certify to its purity, as
we find it free from adulteration."

By GERTRUDE ATHERTON.
An exciting story of Californian life. It opens in
the redwood forest, with a striking description of the
Midsummer Jinks of the Bohemian Club of San Fran-
cisco. A careful study of Western character, with an
international complication.
In A Whirl Asunder, Mrs. Atherton has given us a strong little
story abounding in surprises of thought and language, which, rendered
with a picturesque freshness, make her reader lay down the book with a
sigh, to turn again to the first page for comfort.
"How few novels bear the test of a second perusal ! Howfewer still
yield a second delight in it. Yet one can dip into Mrs. Atherton's works
