Wells, Carolyn. Patty in the city. [†]$1.25. Dodd.
The friends of “Patty at home” will find her quite as delightful to know amid the conditions of New York life, where “she resides in an apartment overlooking Central park, attends a fashionable school, makes new friends, and keeps her old ones.” (Outlook.)

[*] Wells, Carolyn. [Satire anthology.] [**]$1.25. Scribner.
“Beginning with the ancients (Aristophanes, Horace, and Juvenal) ... the selections work down to such very modern exemplars of the species as Mr. Owen Seaman and Mr. Gelett Burgess. Sprinkled through the list of authors we note such out-of-the-way names as those of Ruteboeuf, Abraham à Sancta Clara, Villon, and Béranger. The collection is, however, mainly one of English verse, from the Elizabethans on.”—Dial.
[*] “The selections, from innumerable authors, have been made with skill; but certain of the pieces from very minor modern authors might have been spared in favor of some omitted bits from Lowell and Holmes, both of whom are rather inadequately represented.”
