THE OTHER HOUSE BY Henry
James author of Embarrassments,

The publishers feel no doubt that the
announcement of a novel by Mr.. James
from the length of time that has passed
since he has issued anything beyond
short stories, when, however periect,
seem to those who best appreciate MS
power like 'carven cherry-stones. IL
is beyond question the verdict OF this
country and England, too, that Mr..
James is a most painstaking and faith
full artist in character studies, now be-
fore the public. We doubt if anything
finer in its way than A Portrayal of
Lady has ever been published in the
land. The new contribution by Mr..
James will be welcomed by all seekers
after the best forms of chastened Eng
lish speech. 1t will not meet with so
large sale as MANY another a new book.

WITCH WINNIE IN HOLLAND. By
Elizabeth w. Champney, author of
Witch Winnie, etc.; with numerous
Mead & Co., New York.
Mrs. Champney's new volume carries
the popular heroine of this well known
series OF DOCKS TO Holland, Where she
pursues her art education. 1t is diff
cult to imagine a country IN Europe con-
tanning more treasures of art and more
opportunities for Witch Winnie to fin
ism her education than in Holland.
Many OF the characters in the other
volumes OF the series are relntroduced,
! and indeed the narrative, though bro
ken by several months tsince the APP
| pearance OF her last Volume), is but rare
| ~ disrupted Reproductions of some of
the masterpieces OF franz HAS, Van
dyke. Rubens, etc, are included in the
illustrations.

altnough one learns much about the
Whole south. Or all the novels by this

cannot recall one that is so engrossing,
SO really touching, as this one. 1t COM

cnanSe IN southern social and political
life, that was to make it over and is of
surprising interest-one of the most
striking stories of the year.
