[*] Saltus, Edgar Evertson. [Perfume of Eros; a Fifth avenue incident.] [†]$1.25. Wessels.
“The perfume of Eros” was first published serially under the title, “The yellow fay.” It deals with some unlovely members of New York’s inner circle. Loftus, handsome and wealthy, picks up a tailor’s pretty little daughter and after solemnly promising to marry her establishes her in handsome apartments, takes her abroad and finally deserts her for the wife of his closest friend. The murder of Loftus on the eve of this elopement brings about a trial in which the characters who have thus far been good altho weak, perjure themselves and thereby smooth things over for the happiness of two of the weakest and wealthiest.
[*] “The story is interesting, especially if you regard it as a hooded satire.”

Sample, John Calvert. Properties of steel sections: a reference book for structural engineers and architects. [*]$3. McGraw pub.
A work related to the well-known “Osborn’s tables,” in ground covered. An essential difference is that, in the tables of properties of compound sections, Sample gives I and r, while Osborn gives I and r2.
“The book will be frequently found a convenient handbook where much designing in steel is to be done.”
