This book has had a remarkable run, so much so that at one time it was impos sible for several days to;buy a copy of it in New York. It is published by T. B. Peterson & "Bros., Philadelphia, Ewho have given the "Pretty "Girls" a very handsome dress, bringing them before the public , in a square duodecimo vol ume in good print and excellent paper; paper cover 75 cents, cloth $1.00. 'The name of the author , is . not known, though some one says "it is a woman's story and a woman's book,'' which may mean either that it is written for wo men, or by some one particular woman, It is a society novel, dealing only with the."bon ton," there are no poor people in it, only some not so rich as others or as they desire to be; among these last are "Those Pretty, St. George Girls," two sisters, a blonde and a brunette, whose father married beneath hjm and --- T L . dying early left them to the care of their mother, a not very refined person who occasionally cropped her h a or added . i . .. . 1 - - them unnecessarily. Marriage' is the Bole object of the widow, for both her daughters and herself. Of course she eventually eucoeeds and the book, winds up with three weddings; how brought about one must read to find out, as the flirtations .are numerous,' and we ; are often in doubt whether the hers will be a good boy and marry his cousin Judith, as his family desire, or whether he Will yield to the fascinations of the blue eyed blonde St. George girl.' If the story is not very deep 6r yery thrilling it is cer tainly most harmless; the whip-syllabub of literature, nicely frothed, up, without even a spice of wickedness, t and : not wine enough to render tit 9b jeptionable to the most violent anti-novel reader. . In short, we may say it is the Very! op .ivposite to the Zola, novels, published in Yhe same form by this Loused vvhich is alsd giving to the public a cheap edition of Sir Walter Scott's wayerly Novels, at the unpreceaentea low price, or 10 centa a volume completed, in twenty-six r 1 v volumes, with handsome steel portrait of the author. , Every househqld, ought to have the Waverl y Novels, as they are """"T6 - "7" ;;r r V:fr,:- sons anaso coinn.iuuyrenjrreu , vum. some of the characters are 'almost Ms- toric, tlwugh originating in the autholf'l cram, - " - ' f ; T.tr. f?iiRan StanlviB tho npent for Pe tornon's publications, and "Those Pretty tl.
