BABY BUNTING AGAIN.-One OF the
greatest literary hints Of the season
is the story OF Baby Bunting or,
the Alphabet Of Love-" by Laura
Jean Libbey, which is at present be-
ing publised in the columns Of The
Nep York Fdmily Story Paper. The
paper containing the opening chap.
ters of this wonderfully popular ro-
nance appeared on the news stands
this morning. The tremendous rush
for that number by the young ladies
OF the town shows clearly that the
publishers have struck a bonanza.
The Family Story Paper is for sale by
all news-dealers, or will be sent to
any address four months, postage
free, for $l.00. Norman l.. Munro
