Mes Amours: Poems. Pa.s.sionate and Playful. By SELINA DOLARO.

Studies in Social Life. A Review of the Principles, Practices, and Problems of Society. By GEORGE C. LORIMER.
"The subject is a living one, he has gone to the heart of it, developed his thoughts in an attractive manner, pointed out clearly its existing evils and their causes, and advances theories of remedies which will stand practical test."--_Hamilton Republican._

"The book is carefully written, and Mr. Morgan presents his side of the argument with clearness and great ability."--_Chicago Herald._
Men, Women, and G.o.ds. By HELEN GARDENER.

Joseph_ (Mo.) _Herald._

"This is a masterly discussion of one of the burning questions of the age, dealt with according to the logic of facts. The plot is most ingenious, and the characters are sketched with a powerful hand."--_Trenton Times._
