L. C. Page and Company, Boston,
have issued a second series of their
Little Plgrimages Among the Men
Who Have Written Famous Books"
Twenty authors are sketched by artist
and writer between the white, green
and gold bindings: among them Irving
Bachelor, George AIDE, Robert w.
Chambers, Finley Peter Dunno, George
Cary Eggleston, Henry Harland, Jack
London, Booth Harrington, Elliott Flow
er, George Barr McCutcheon and Owen
Wister. Brief and. authentic accounts
are given of each in very readable
style by Edward F. Harkins, author OF
the previous series. Each subject is
written about entertainingly and with
out undue adulation, making the book
desirable addition to the library. The
portraits are excellent and add much to
the attractiveness of the work. We are
first introduced to Mr.. Irving Bachelor,
author of Eben Holden. The kernel of
| that story was a thirty thousand word
sketch called Uncle Eb, and Uncle Eb
was taken in succession to Harper's
Round Table, the Youths Companion
and st. Nicholas, all three of which
rejected it with cherries unanimity."
A Boston firm of publishers. however,
thought that Mr.. Bachelor had talent
and agreed to keep him going, it is said,
on fifty dollars week until he should
get book ready. 1t was then that he
expanded Uncle Eb into Eben Holden.
| Most of Mr.. Bachelors hard work, the
writer of the paper tells us, is done in
| New York, while most of his loafing
and soul-inviting is done at his summer
house in Connecticut, by the waters of
Long Island Sound" Price $1.20; for
sale by the e. P. Judd Company.

them together in permanent form.
The author of these papers hurried off
to Europe without leaving a preface for
the book, sending a note to the publish
ers to merely inform the reader that the
book consists of "the questionable and
passe opinions Of a survivor of past
age" and to express her thanks to the
Baltimore Sun for permission to print
the articles in question. The publishers
preface announcing this fact goes on to
tell how the book came to be published.

| ''Thoughtless Thoughts" will be appa-
rent to the discriminating reader and
the book will afford a genuine treat and
should not be missed. Price $1.25; for
