BEAUTIES

BY Harrison Fisher; Verse by verse by
Carolyn Wells; decorations by Theodore
b. Hapgood. Dodd, Head G. Co., publish
ers, New York.
Few artists do more beautiful work than
Harrison Fisher.
His pictures are always the most exqui-
sitely dainty conceptions, and his draw
ngs are perhaps more popular than those
OF any other artist in America at the
present time.
In conjunction with Carolyn Wells, than
whom there is no more clever writer Mr..
Fisher presents to the public a most
charming collection of "beauties." which,
with Miss Wells verses, full of witticisms
and apropos sentiments. and the decora-
tons by Theodore B. Hapgood. makes an
deal gift either at the Christmas season
n at any other time.
The volume is handsomely bound and
s not only work of art from the stand
point of the artist alone but also from
literary standpoint, and many of the
verses as well as the pictures remain In
the readers mind long after the book
has been perused.
