CRANKISMS
By L de V. MATTHEWMAN
Pictured by C. V. DWIGGINS
In a letter to the author a well-known literary man writes:
“It is a bright, clever, entertaining little volume which surely
deserves a better name than the one you have given it. I found it a
mental cocktail that quickens thinking, and I congratulate you on
the telling and effective way in which you have stated real truths, and
on the verisimilitude you have given to cynicisms which you do not
believe any more than I do.”
One of the cleverest little books that has been published for a
long time. — San Francisco- Bulletin.
Biting, wise, and humorous. —Pittsburgh Leader.
Delightful, diverting, suggestive. — Brooklyn Standard Union.
One of the cleverest jeux d’esprit we have seen. — Onward,
Toronto, Can.
Not a dull line from cover to cover. — Four O'Clock.
A book full of grim smiles and broad laughs. — Kansas City Star.
A DELIGHT AND AN INSPIRATION
Eighth Edition Now Ready
A Summer Hymnal
A ROMANCE OF TENNESSEE
By JOHN TROTWOOD MOORE
Illustrated by STANLEY M. ARTHURS
i2mo. Cloth, extra, $1.25
Marion Harland says: “For we have in the * Hymnal ’ one of
the most exquisite pastorals of American life ever written. It is an
idyl — a ‘Reverie’—than which nothing more charming has been
offered to our reading public since Ik Marvel founded a school of his
own fitty-ope years ago.”
. . . Our “ United Country” is proud of the State that has given
us within a dozen years Charles Egbert Craddock and this later and
gentler painter of Tennessee life.
There is in the philosophy of this novel something deliciously
sweet and comforting. ... A book of this sort occasionally is a
delight and an inspiration. —Louisville Times.
Mr. Moore displays more sentiment than does Mr. Allen, and a
shrewder philosophy.—N. Y. Times Saturday Review.
Truly, this author of “A Summer Hvmnal ” has touched and sus-
tained a high note in novel-writing. We shall think of him and of
his book-people as tenderly as of summer days themselves. He
lias written for our hearts as well as for our heads. — N. Y. World.
The Most Importatit Whist Book in Many Years
The Principl es and
Practice of Whist
By LENNARD LEIGH 6- ERNEST BERGHOLT
With Examples, Illustrative Deals, Critical Endings, Math-
ematical Calculations, Tables of Probabilities, etc., etc., includ-
ing an Essay on Probabilities, by William H. Whitfeld,
M.A., Cantab. Crown S\o. Cloth, extra, gilt top. Net, #>1.50.
This is the most important work on Whist that has
been published since “ Cavendish,” and there never has
been any other of so wide a scope.
MARK FORREST, in an advance review in the columns
of Whist, says:
“The statement of ‘General Principles’ is very ably handled.
An exceedingly valuable part of the work is a series of‘Tables on
Probabilities.’ The calculations were verified by W. H. Whitfeld,
who contributes a prefatory chapter on ‘ Probabilities.’ The
‘ Critical Endings ’ is one of the most interesting sections of a book
which we have found exceptionally interesting all through.
“ This is an important and noteworthy work. It will be entertain-
ing to the expert and instructive to the beginner.”
‘ A Story of Unusual Pathos and Power ”
‘ One of the Strongest Books of the Season ”
The Standard Manual of Bridge
By the Higher Law
By JULIA HELEN TWELLS, Jr.
Illustrated by Pal. i2mo. Cloth, $1.50
A Novel of New York Society

" Smart Set in New York and an interesting and possibly truthful
picture of the exclusive set described— Baltimore Methodist.
The story is dramatic without being hysterical, and it holds atten-
tion throughout. — Western Recorder, Louisville, Ky.
The theme used is a daring one. There is much social fencing,
and the cut and thrust of clever conversation. The author evidently
knows the life she talks of, and maintains an air of verisimilitude
throughout. — The Outlook, New York City.
Few will put “ By the Higher Law” down until they have finished
it. — Philadelphia Inquirer.

stood than any other bridge manual the writer has seen. — Leader,
