 by Katherine Gassaway. Duffield &
 Co.,, publishers. 211 Vests Thirty-third
 street. New York.
 John Corbin. the we'll known dramatic novel The Edge" which ranks as one of the six best sellers of the season.
 This is the comedy of a young couple.
 brought up in the most fashionable New
 York society, who. as a result of mar riage and children, are forced over "the ragged edge" of their class into the life of the submerged. Their story. by turns tender and broadly amusing. is typical of what happens nowadays to people well
 born and well bred who marry on small income. An ably written novel, at once gay and thoughtful. which presents a new and highly diverting view of the modern
 woman of the better sort, as seen by her husband.
 MT. Corbin is one of the foremost writers of the day and anything from his clever pen Is received always by the lt- erary world with tremendous amount of interest
 The Edge" has been widely read and commented upon, the universal opinion being that 1t is one of the most charming and attractive novels of the year. PALS FIRST" By Francis Perry Elliott. Harper Bros, publishers, New York.
 Pals First" novel by Francis Perry Elliott, is very attractive story. Two picturesque vagabonds, trawersing high way in the south come to a stately old mansion. The negro servant who meets them welcomes the younger as the long absent master of the house. They accept the situation and everything is put at their disposal Well clothed, well fed, with money in their pockets, they debate whether to seize the riches within their reach and fly or to finger in this lux urious environment. The daughter of the friend-between whom and the younger there had been a love affair-comes also, and they meet alone, but still they are not charged with imposture. Another character appears, a cousin with an in- terest in the reversion of the property. He had announced that the true heir had been killed in his travels. Naturally he was suspicious of this apparent return from the dead. The older wanderer wished to escape. The younger wished to stay and fight it out How could the sit uation be met?
 MT Perry Is southerner, who is fond |of New England and its people. Through many years he has spent his summers near Vineyard Sound or Narragansett
