A Whimsical Wooing 



BY 



ANTON GIULIO BARRILI 



Author of "The Eleventh Commandment." 



From the Italian by CLARA BELL 



"Some months ago we had occasion to praise a pleas- 

 ant novel of modem Italian life by the author of the 

 above story. The present is not less deserving of praise. 

 It is just the very thing to play as an afterpiece. Cast 

 into purely dramatic form — indeed, without any change 

 at all — it would form a sparkUng little comedietta for a 

 private theatrical party. The little volume is most 

 charming ; it is very brief, but every line sparkles ; and 

 we find it all too short." — Toronto Mail. 



" ' A Whimsical Wooing ' is the richly-expressive 

 title under which ' Clara Bell ' introduces a cleverly- 

 narrated episode by Anton Guilio Barrili to American 

 readers. It is a sketch of Italian life, at once rich and 

 strong, but nevertheless discreet in sentiment and grace- 

 ful in diction. It is the old story of the fallacy of 

 trusting to a proxy in love matters." — Boston Post.
