A GOOD AUTOMOBILE STORY.
Baby Bullet.
By Lloyd Osbourne
This is the jolliest, most delightfully humorous love story that has been written in the last ten years. Baby Bullet is an "orphan automobile." It is all through the adoption of Baby Bullet by her travelling companion that a dear, sweet, human modern girl meets a very nice young man, and a double romance is begun and finished on an automobiling tour through England.
"The story is smoothly written, full of action and healthful fun."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger._
"'Baby Bullet' is without doubt the best written and most entertaining automobile story yet published. The most enjoyable feature of this book is its genuine, unforced humor, which finds expression not only in ludicrous situations, but in bright and spirited dialogue, keen observation and natural characterization.'--_St. Paul Dispatch._
"Certain stories there are that a man fervently wishes he might claim as his own. Of these, 'Baby Bullet' is one."--_Baltimore Sun._
"It is broad comedy, full of adventurous fun, clever and effective. The tale is fascinating from the start. The adventures of Baby Bullet are distinctly funny."--_New York Sun._
"The characters are lightly drawn, but with great humor. It is a story that refreshes a tired brain and provokes a light heart."--_Chicago Tribune._
"It is a most satisfying and humorous narrative."--_Indianapolis News._
"One of the funniest scenes in recent fiction is the escape of the automobile party from the peroxide blonde who has answered their advertis.e.m.e.nt for a chaperon."--_San Francisco Chronicle._

A SPLENDID NEWSPAPER YARN.
A Yellow Journalist.
By Miriam Michelson
This novel has the true newspaper thrill in it from beginning to end.
The intense desire to "cover" one's a.s.signment completely and well is brought out in the midst of the melodramatic atmosphere in which a modern newspaper woman must live. The stories are all true to life, and mixed with the excitement there is a wealth of humor and pathos.
"There is a dash about 'A Yellow Journalist' that exhilarates like a fresh breeze on a sharp winter morning."--_Chicago Record-Herald_.
"The book is bright and entertaining."--_Minneapolis Tribune_.
"There are just a few writers who have succeeded in reducing to paper the atmosphere of a newspaper office, and since the appearance of 'A Yellow Journalist,' Miriam Michelson must be numbered among them."--_The Bookman_.
"Miss Michelson's work has found great favor. The stories contained in this book are characteristic."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger_.
"Only one with the genuine journalistic instinct, who has agonized over a story and known the ecstacy of a 'beat' and the anguish of being beat, can write of news-gathering as Miss Michelson does. But she has other good qualities in addition to these--a good dramatic instinct, a piquant humor, and a knowledge of human nature. The fourteen chapters of 'A Yellow Journalist' are mighty interesting reading."--_Baltimore News_.
