LODGINGS IN TOWN. 12mo. Cloth. Illustrated. $1.50.

With "Lodgings in Town," Arthur Henry completes the trilogy of which "An Island Cabin" and "The House in the Woods" have been part. Like them, this is an intimate, unexaggerated account of the experiences which the author passed through while seeking for an ideal form of existence. The narrative tells, in its whimsical wealth of detail, how he secured himself a lodging and a hairbrush, how he became a householder in the tenement district and a municipal reformer, just how much two people lived on and how they lived on it, and how, when a fire in the night swept out of existence the home and the possessions which the life in town had secured them, they came back to town again in borrowed clothing, reduced to first principles.

THE HOUSE IN THE WOODS. 12mo. Cloth. Illustrated. $1.50. Second edition.

"A good, breezy, healthful, story the more readers it has, the better." New York Times.

"As fine as a great forest, a great city or a great man it is a pleasure to recommend it to the reader." New York Press.

AN ISLAND CABIN. 12mo. Cloth. Illustrated. $1.50. New edition.

"A book of individuality and power. The author is a home spun Thoreau, homespun because he writes without the literary pose, and doesn't leave out the very things we like to know." The Worlds Work.

''THE UNWRITTEN LAW. A Novel.'' 12mo. Cloth. $1.50. Second edition.

"The scenes around Washington Square on a summer's night; the ride to Coney Island; Theckla's tragic pilgrimage to Sing Sing, are described in the manner of the Master of Realism. But even more remarkable is the development of the two girls. Everything that makes a novel truly great is incorporated in this story." New York Press.
