General Agency for MME. DEMOREST'S RELIABLE PATTERNS DARE. By Mary W. Glascock. (Cloth, $1,25, 2nd Edition.) "The book has feminine dash about it."-Atlantic Monthly. "Well wrought out, in love, pathos, and pity. The tale is quite free from exaggeration, and leaves an impression of reality on the mind like an actual experience. The volume is neat and prettily gotten up. As a California production, and the work of a prominent Oakland lady, it will find many readers and admirers."-San José Mercury. CALIFORNIAN VERSES. By Chas. H. Phelps. (Cloth, $1.) "Mr. Charles H. Phelps, editor of THE CALIFORNIAN, has written many striking poems, which have appeared from time to time in the pages of his magazine. He now issues them in a collected form, under the heading of Californian Verses.' Mr. Phelps is particularly happy in some characteristies. He displays an artistic deftness in handling a pleasing succession of short verses (we mean verses not stanzas) with rhythmical facility. The 'Californian Cradle Song' is an instance of this. His poems possess a strong local flavor. One of the daintiest specimens is the 'Cradle Song,' of which we have spoken. It is characterized by a most refreshing simplicity and naturalness, which is marred only by the forced alliteration of the opening phrases. Yuma' has already been much admired by the reading public, and needs no comment upon its descriptive fidelity."--Argonaut. "These poetic fancies are full of the fire of our electric life, and shadow forth pathos, sublimity, sentimentality and love. We think The Bride of Tamalpais' is the gem of the collection."—S. F.

"She is a passionate lover of Nature, and felicitously interprets its moods. The fresh winds of Spring, the Summer grasses and flowers, and the rough storms of Winter, alike have their fascinations for her, and furnish her with inspiration."Boston Transcript.
