 Everybody agrees that Henry Har- lands "Prospero.' published by Me Clure, Phillips & Company. is one of the lmost readable books the past twelve months has brought forth. In it he has not only repeated his former successes, but has eclipsed them. True, the new work is much along the lines of it's pre- decessors. with the types of character much similar, but that is saying that it is highly fascinating. The same deli eacy of touch, refinement and consum- mate art are manifest as before, 'Prospero'' will, without doubt, be one of the most sought for works at the book stalls and the libraries despite the sact that so many hundreds read the story when it appeared in installments in McClure's Magazine.
 As says the Baltimore Sun:
 The Cardinals Snuff Box and The Lady Paramount established the repu- tation of Henry Harland. My Friend Prospero' will serve to heighten it. This last tale from the clever writer and as- tute critic, Henry Harland, is one of the most delightful of several spark ling novels that have within a year gladdened hearts saddened with the overflow of historical fiction that dealt in battle and murder and sudden death. Here we have light and life and love, all piquant, and mixed into delightful literary salad. A salad that delights the eye aesthetically while it satisfies the appetite in a litero-g gastronomic manner. Very bright are the delightful situations into which My Friend Pros lpero' and his unknown love are drawn. "
 The New York Mail and Express says:
 However. apart from the oyerwhelm- ling blueness of it's blood-the majority of readers will opine on account of it. the story is really delightful, as dainty and delicate and bewitching as it's pre- dict that it will rival them in populari- ty."
 Brooklyn Eagle:
 Tt is a fascinating, delightful story, notable for it's literary finish-as artis- tic bit of workmanship as ever came from MT. Harland's pen

 The Homebuiiders, by Karl Edwin Hartman, author of Ann Arbor Tales" and published by George W. Ja- cobs and Company, Philadelphia. is a strong book. It is a collection of eight stories, not altogether disconnected, which make very entertaining volume of fiction. and an interesting study of an interesting people who constitute g large colony in one of our great Ameri- can cities, and who are to be found in more or less numbers in about all our large cities. The author knows whereof he speaks and he writes understanding ly-from knowledge-having dwelt among the Poles and knowing their characteristics and distinguishing traits. Thus thoroughly equipped, with inti- mate knowledge, he proceeds to give pictures of the home life of the class of Poles with which he deals pictures which are strong realistic and vivid pictures, permeated with real vital hu- man interest. full of pathos, vigor and genuine descriptive power. These pic- lures one feels, are from life. With strong. sure, unerring touches, the wri- ter brings out the humor or pathos. as the case may be, in the lives of these simple, earnest, hard toiling people. Their hopes, aims, aspirations, their pa- triotic fervor, as they recall the fair op- pressed land whence they came and their patriotic fervor for the land of their adoption, the land of liberty, are told with masterly touches that make these eight stories of absorbing interest outside of their value as sociological study. For sale by all booksellers. A volume that should prove of inter- est at the present time is Cruising in the Caribbean with a Camera by An- son Phelps Stokes, formerly vice com modore of the New York Yacht club. (Dodd. Mead & Co.> This little book will be valuable not only to those contem- plating visit to the West Indies, but because it is well written skech of a recent cruise in those waters in he yacht Sea Fox. and contains much informa- .ion and many interesting facts con- corning the islands This cruise is sup- Iplementary to an earlier one, which was described in a volume entitled "Cruis- ing In the West Indies" The growing interest in the West sIndies gives this book a degree of tirneiness, and in it MT.

The volume is illustrated, and Econtains an excellent may of the West Indies.
