"Gertude's Marriage" is a new novel
translated from the German of w. Hem
berg, by Mrs. J: W. DAVIS, and published
| by The Worthington Company of New
York. The story is slight in plot, but won
derfully interesting in its character sketch
| ing, and the translator has been very happy
in her work. In brief, the tale is of a
woman rich in worldly goods who sought
to find mate who would love her for her
self alone. Believing she had found true
heart, she married. A trivial circumstance
that bore strongly against her husband in
| appearance led her to believe that she had,
| after all, been taken because of her wealth.
Without giving her husband an opportunity
to clear his skirts of the seeming infamy,
she left him. The story then deals with
the dramatic circumstances, the trials of
| pride and love, through which reconcilia-
ton was reached and the apparent wrong
| was righted. Not much of a plot, TO be
| sure, but in the method of its management
mastery is shown, and some of the most
delicate of word painting and character
analysis is exhibited. The volume is richly
illustrated with photographers.
The Cosmopolitan :" for April. J. B.
Walker, 1868 Fifth avenue, New York, is a

| executed portraits of the Dominion Cabinet

ture, the Parliament House at Ottawa. The

TIE Paris papers speak Of it in the highest
terms, and say that it is certainly in con-
cepton the boldest. in plot the most in
tensely dramatic and stirring, in execution
the most delicate, and in interest and fasci-
nation almost without an equal; that in il
the plague spots of society are exposed in q
manner so skillfui as not to cause the
slightest feeling Of disgust or scandal.
THE Wide Awake" for April, D. Lothror
d Co, Boston, is at hand, and proves 10 be
