Toothsome Tales Told in Slang

By BILLY BURGUNDY.

A book of fascinating stories about
fascinating folks.

Pretty women before and behind the foot-lights, artists and their models, literary men of Bohemian tendencies, these are the people whom Billy Burgundy has selected for characterization.  True, they speak their lines in slang, but it is the slang of the educated, and is always artistic while delightfully amusing.

Pronounced by press and public one of the
funniest books ever published.

The illustrations are by Outcault,
Swinnerton, Marriner, Rigby, Pal, McAuley,
Lemon, Cobb and Bryans.

Copiously Illustrated.

Price, 75 cents.

EERIE TALES OF “CHINATOWN.”

Bits of Broken China

By WILLIAM E.S.  FALES

A collection of captivating novelettes dealing
with life in New York’s “Chinatown.”

The struggles and ambitions of the Chinaman in America, his loves and jealousies, his hopes and fears, his sorrows, his joys, these are the materials on which Mr. Fales has built his book.

It is a new field, and all the more interesting on that account.  The author has made a life study of his subject; and no one is better qualified than he to present a picture of this romantic corner of New York where lives the exiled Chinaman.

“Bits of Broken China” is undoubtedly one of the most delightful volumes for lighter reading published this season.

Bound in cloth.

Gold top.

Fully Illustrated

THE GAME OF THE HOUR.

ABC OF BRIDGE

By ELEANOR A. TENNANT.

From the Brooklyn Eagle: 

“Bridge is not yet so well known as whist, but an hour’s study of this clever little book ought to be enough to enable anyone to play with moderate success.  It is written mainly for the instruction of amateurs, but, in addition, the author, who is herself an expert, has given numerous hints that will be valuable to the most advanced player.”

From the Dramatic Mirror: 

“The game is explained in simple fashion—­which is indeed an achievement, considering its complications.”

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: 

“The little volume is just what it pretends to be—­an elementary treatise on the subject, and is not rendered top-heavy, by overloading of extraneous matter.  It will take one about an hour to read it, and he will then know how the game is played.”

In cloth.

Gold top.

Illustrated with diagrams.
