The Funniest Book 

 of the Century 



"SAMANTHA AT SARATOGA; or 

 RACIN' AFTER FASHION." 



By JOSIAH ALLEN'S WIFE. 



Illustrated with Over 60 Drawings by F. Opper, 

 the Greatest Comic Artist in New York. 



Over 100,000 copies of the agents' edition in 

 expensive binding were sold at $2.50 each. This 

 premium edition contains 374 pages, and gives all the 

 reading matter and all the illustrations the same as 

 the copies which sold at §2.50 each. Over 200,000 

 copies of the premium edition have already been sold. 



THERE IS A BUSHEL OF 

 FUN IN EVERY CHAPTER. 



Its Pictures are Just Killing 



' I would tear a man lira' from lim' il I see him a 

 tryin' to flirt with you." 



This book was written under tlie inspiration of a 

 summer season 'mid the world of fashion at Saratoga, 

 the proudest pleasure resort of America. The book 

 takes off Follies, Flirtations, Low-necked Dressing, 

 Dudes, Pug-dogs, Tobogganing, and all the extremes of 

 fashionable dissipation, in the author's inimitable and 

 mirth-provoking style. 



Children and grown-up people alike read with rap- 

 turous delight the story of Samantha's "tower" to 

 Saratoga, accompanied by her " wayward pardner," 

 Josiah Alien. It is written in a vein of strong common 

 sense, as pur:^ and innocent as the prattle of a child, 

 which keeps the reader constantly enjoying an ever 

 fresh feast of fun.
