OUR LITTLE LIFE

" has written," said an eminent English writer recently, “the best short stories published in English in the last fifty years." And his fellow-authors "fell all over each other," as Barrie put it, " for the honor of writing prefaces” to his books. And among them besides Barrie are such men as W. D. Howells, G. K. Chesterton, W. Robertson Nicoll, H. G. Wells, Maurice Hewlett, Arthur Pinero, W. J. Locke, Neil Monroe and A. Neil Lyons, who says

that the volume published April 18 A Chair on the Boulevard

is “ one of the few really amusing books published during my lifetime" and contains “the funniest story of this century.” Its humor has a gay

stimulating sparkle like that of While Paris Laughed

Pranks and Passions of the Poet Tricotrin. The Man Who Understood Women and Other Stories

Compact of wise and witty insight. Conrad in Quest of His Youth

A quaint and whimsical story of a sentimental

effort to recapture well remembered associations. The Worldlings

A story in which the villain meets his just dues,

with your full sympathy, respect and liking. The House of Lynch The Actor-Manager The Position of Peggy Harper When Love Flies Out o' the Window Cynthia

All of them novels which are exquisitely human, written from intimate knowledge of the struggles of the young actors, artists, or writers who people his most interesting world.
