With six drawings by Henry Roth $1.50
Mr. Curtis is the poker expert of the New York Sun, and many of the stories in “Stand Pat” originally appeared in the Sun. Although in a sense short stories, they have a thread of continuity, in that the principal characters appear throughout. Every poker player will enjoy Mr. Curtis’s clever recital of the strange luck to which Dame Fortune sometimes treats her devotees in the uncertain game of draw poker, and will appreciate the startling coups by which she is occasionally outwitted.
The Count at Harvard
Being an Account of the Adventures of a Young Gentleman of Fashion at Harvard University. By Rupert Sargent Holland.
With a characteristic cover design $1.50
With the possible exception of Mr. Flandrau’s work, the “Count at Harvard” is the most natural and the most truthful exposition of average student life yet written, and is thoroughly instinct with the real college atmosphere. “The Count” is not a foreigner, but is the nickname of one of the principal characters in the book.
The story is clean, bright, clever, and intensely amusing. Typical Harvard institutions, such as the Hasty Pudding Club, The Crimson, the Crew, etc., are painted with deft touches, which will fill the soul of every graduate with joy, and be equally as fascinating to all college students.
