A BOOK FULL OF "HUMAN" INTEREST. 



QUEER PEOPLE 



By WILLIAM HENRY BISHOP. 



Author of "DBTMOUX 1 



Not one story, but a number of charming 

 storyettes, terse, snappy and absorbingly 

 interesting 



There is a delightful pen sketch of a 

 woman of small means who aspires to a con- 

 nection with the smart set. Her attempts 

 to disguise the true state of affairs from her 

 out-of-town friends are laughable ; but the 

 fun becomes tinged with pathos when she 

 borrows a furnished mansion for an evening, 

 and a rich relative, invited to dine with 

 her, uncloaks the pitiable fraud .... 



The promising boy and the fond patroness 

 are the chief characters in another brilliant 

 character study in "Queer People." . . .
