NOTABLE BOOKS OF AMERICAN HUMOR BY GELETT BURGESS. V1VETTE. Or, the flemoirs of the Romance Association. Setting forth the diverting Adventures of one Richard Redforth in the very pleasant City of Millamours ; how he took Service in the Association ; how he met and wooed the gay Vivette ; how they sped their Honeymoon and played the Town ; how they spread a mad Banquet ; of them that came thereto, and the Tales they told ; of the Exploits of the principal Characters, and especially of the Disappearance of Vivette. " Mr. Burgess displays infinite zest and exhaustless resources of inven- tion, and hurries his readers breathlessly along, from one astonishing and audacious situation to another, till the book is flung down at finis with a chuckle of appreciative laughter." The Literary News. Cloth, 6fx4jin. $1.25 BvS. E. KISER. GEORQIE. The Sayings and Doings of his Paw, his Maw, Little Albert, and the Bull Pup. "The charm of the book is the permanent charm of all literature, according to Matthew Arnold's admirable definition. Georgie is a singularly acute and humorous interpretation of the home life led by the American who is neither too rich to be aping the English nor too poor to avoid the other extreme of Europeanism in slum or hovel. The book is worth reading as holding ' a mirror up to nature,' and it is also worth praising because it discloses between its lines a kindly and unspoiled nature on the part of the author." Chicago Tribune. Cloth, decorative, 6f x 5^ in. With ten illustrations by Ralph Bergengren. $1.00 SMALL, MAYNARD & COMPANY, PUBLISHERS, BOSTON
