THE NAUGHTY RUNAWAY CAT

King Grimalkum and Pussyanita;
or, the Cats' Arabian Nights.

By MRS. A. M. DIAZ. Quarto, $1.25.

THE NICE CAT THAT WAS GOOD TO BIRDS.
(From "The Cats' Arabian Nights.")

For the little folks who like to laugh, for the papas and mammas who like to hear them and to laugh with them, this is the book to buy. As in the world-famous Eastern tales which give the book its name, the stories, with cats and kittens for heroes and heroines, instead of men and women, lead one to another, and run on and on in a long series of delights—simple and sweet, quaint, strange and pathetic, witty and rollicking, or bubbling over with genial humor and the queerest conceits.

The irresistible stories are accompanied by more beautiful and laughable cat-pictures than were ever before gathered between two covers, and the covers themselves are very quaint, in dainty colors and in silver.
