BOOK NOTICES.

"Old Country Idylls." by John Stafford,
Dood, Mead & Company, New YorA. Cloth
$1.25 This is a charming book of 800
pages. The half dozen or more sketches
are charmingly written, and can hardly
fail to find favor with many readers. They
are sketches that one can pick up at any
time and find interesting.
witch Winnie in Holland" by Eliza
beth w. Champney, with numerous illus
trations 12mo, cloth, $3.50, Dood, Mead
& Company, Fifth avenue and Twenty
first street, New York. Mrs. Champneys
new volume carries the popular heroine
of this well known series of books to Hol-
land, where she pursues her art educa>
ton. 1t is difficult to imagine country
in Europe containing more treasures or
art and more opportunities for Witcn
Winnie TO finish her education than Hol-
land. Many of the characters in the other
volumes of the series are reintroduced,
and indeed the narrative, though broken
by several months (since the appearance
of her last Volume), is but barely disrupt
ed. Reproductions of some of the MASTER
pieces of Franz Halls, Nandyke Rubens,
ETC., are included in the illustrations.
THE Metropoltans," by Jeanne Drake.
2mo, go pages. New York: The Cen
fury Company. Price, s1.25. This is a
good-natured satire on New York society,
besides being a novel of considerable d.
versity of plot. The title is justified by
the typical character of the hero, the
heroine, and most of the minor charac-
ters. A brilliant and gifted young man,
who has been meanly deprived of his in
heritance, wins his way to success as a
composer and gains his reward as a lover
by dropping his idle associates and ac
cepting the gospel of hard work The
scene is laid mainly in New York city,
but the author has introduced a decided
novelty in shifting the scene during an
important part of the development of
the plot to the Arctic regions. Here the
hero's character IS finally rounded out by
the hardship and privation that necessa-
rily accompany life in an Eskimo igloo.
The dramatic element of this portion of
the story is intensified by the presence
amid these uncongenial surroundings of
beautiful Hungarian singer, who has
helped the hero's operas into popular
favor. 1t can be seen from this bare out
line of the plot, which omts many of the
salient points so as not to destroy the
readers zest, that Miss Drake has avoid
ed hackneyed incidents and ventured into
new fields. In venturing into new fields
she has made it clear that she possesses
talent of a very high order as a writer of
fiction She brings to her work not only
Female Imagination, but a wealth of in
formation in respect to many subjects
and a profound knowledge of human ma
ture. She has a well-earned fame which
is steadily increasing.
