Breezy Glimpses into the Heart of Bohemia
"The author gets at the intimate secrets, the subtle charm of the
Quarter. A spirit of gaiety runs through the book."--_Phila.
Press._
By F. BERKELEY SMITH
Author of "How Paris Amuses Itself"
The Real Latin Quarter
In these captivating and realistic sketches, the reader is taken into
the very heart of Bohemia and shown the innermost life and characters in
this little world of art and amusement. The author pictures with brush,
pen, and camera every nook and corner of the Quarter with such light and
vivid touches that the reader is made to feel the very spirit, breathe
the very atmosphere within these fascinating precincts. We look down
upon the giddy whirl of the "Bal Bullier," enjoy a cozy breakfast at
"Lavenue's," stroll through the Luxembourg Gardens, peep into studios
and little corners known only to the initiated, mingle with the throng
of models, grisettes, students, and artists on "Boul Miche" and in a
hundred other ways see and enjoy this unconventional center.
"A True Picture," Say the Artists
_Charles Dana Gibson:_ "It is like a trip to Paris."
_John W. Alexander:_ "It is the real thing."
_Frederic Remington:_ "You have left nothing undone."
_Ernest Thompson Seton:_ "A true picture of the Latin Quarter as I knew
it."
A Richly Made Book
_Watcrcolor Frontispiece by F. Hopkinson Smith. About 100 original
drawings and camera snap shots by the Author, and two caricatures in
color by the celebrated French caricaturist Sancha. 12mo, Cloth. Price,

Within the Gates of the Kingdom of Fun
"If you wish to thoroughly soak yourself with the concentrated
essence of enjoyment, read this book quickly. It is too good to
miss."--_The Philadelphia Item._
How Paris Amuses Itself
By F. BERKELEY SMITH
Author of "The Real Latin Quarter"
This jolly, handsome book is the very incarnation of that spirit of
amusement which reigns supreme in the capital of the world's fun. The
author unites the graphic skill of the artist, the infectious enthusiasm
of the lover of fun and gaiety, and the intimate personal knowledge of
the long-time resident in this great playground of the world. In spirit
the reader can visit with a delightful comrade all the nooks of jollity
known only to the initiated, enjoy all the sparkle and glitter of the
ever-moving panorama of gaiety, and become a part of the merry throng.
"It is the gayest book of the season and is as handsome mechanically as
it is interesting as a narrative. The sparkle, the glow, the charm of
the risque, the shimmer of silks, and the glint of jewels--are all so
real and apparent."--_Buffalo Courier._
"The very spirit of modern Paris is prisoned in its text."--_Life._
"There is about the whole book that air of light-heartedness and frolic
which is essentially Parisian. This book is a book for everybody--those
who know Paris and those who do not know it."--_North American_,
Philadelphia.

The Breeziest Books on Parisian Life
"For delightful reading one can turn with pleasant anticipations
certain of fulfilment to F. Berkeley Smith's triology of books on
Paris life, 'The Real Latin Quarter' and 'How Paris Amuses Itself,'
and the latest volume just out, 'Parisians Out of
Doors.'"--_Burlington Hawk Eye._
Parisians Out of Doors
By F. BERKELEY SMITH
Author of "How Paris Amuses Itself" and "The Real
Latin Quarter"
"It is a kaleidoscopic miscellany of anecdote, grave and gay; brief bits
of biography and impressionistic portrayal of types, charming glimpses
into Parisian life and character, and, above all, descriptions of the
city's chief, and, to outward view, sole occupation--the art of enjoying
oneself. Tourists have learned that Mr. Smith is able to initiate them
into many mysteries uncatalogued or only guardedly hinted at by more
staidly respectable and professional guides."--_The Globe_, New York.
"Smith's delightfully sympathetic Paris [Parisians Out of Doors] would
make a wooden Indian part with his cigars."--_Frederic Remington._
"Naturally, these scenes and places and the persons who add the living
touches to the pictures are described from the viewpoint of one who
knows them well, for Mr. Smith holds the world of Paris in the hollow of
his hand. This is an ideal book for summer reading."--_New York Press._
_12mo, cloth, handsome binding, illustrated with drawings by the
author and several French artists, and water-color frontispiece by
F. Hopkinson Smith $1.50 post-paid._
FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY, PUBS., NEW YORK
"Mr. Smith does not go sightseeing in the accepted sense of the word. It
is not the museums and historical places in which he is interested, but
_the people themselves_, and he gets many a view of which the hurried
_tourist_ is altogether ignorant."--_Brooklyn Citizen._
In London Town
By F. BERKELEY SMITH
Illustrated by the Author and other Artists
"The charm of this book lies in its breezy talk, its naive descriptions
and its plenitude of atmosphere. It certainly is a most charming book
and the reader will have a good time 'In London Town' if he goes with
the author."--_Philadelphia Inquirer._
"Everyday life and the living of it after British standards are what Mr.
Smith sought and here reveals. He could not write an unreadable book,
this American artist. It is all interesting that he has to tell of
London Town."--_San Francisco Bulletin._
"The author conscientiously looks for the picturesque and he does much
to show the brighter side of English life, for he writes in a light,
bright, gay style that catches and holds the attention wherever one may
open the book. Indeed he gives a true idea of the real life of the
Londoner as few travellers would be apt to obtain unaided."--_Columbus
(O.) State Journal._
"Candor is the prevailing note in this beautiful volume. There is
nothing of the guide book spirit about it. It is bright, replete with
anecdotes and a moving picture of wonderful London. London's labors, its
pictures and its characteristics are shown in breezy fashion and even
English cooking and London's kitchens come in for cheery comment. It is
a refreshing book charmingly exhilarating."--_Philadelphia Record._
London Sketched with Brush and Pen: "He has studied London with a
trained intelligence, observed it with an artist's eye, and then gives
us a traveller's impression in a graceful, literary way."--_Chicago
Tribune._
"It is brilliantly written. The glimpses of London which he gives are
not at all like anything we are accustomed to in descriptions of
London--herein lies the charm of Mr. Smith's book. He knows London quite
as well as any American. It is a thoroughly delightful narrative--a
pleasant and entertaining story, gracefully written, picturesque, and
wholly original in inspiration and treatment."--_Brooklyn Eagle._

_ALONG THE BEAUTIFUL ADRIATIC JUST
BEFORE THE WAR BEGAN_
Delightful Dalmatia
By ALICE LEE MOQUE
One of the most refreshing volumes written in years--a live, snappy,
rollicking tale of experiences aboard and ashore in the most delightful
piece of Southern Europe--along the Adriatic.
Its pages breathe the very spirit of everything that goes to make
Dalmatia delightful. Story, anecdote--ancient or legendary--beautiful
cities, old churches, countless architectural and other ancient
treasures, etc., etc., pervade its pages in entertaining variety.
The book is timely for its descriptions of places already in the wake of
war; among these is Cattaro, the recently bombarded fortification on the
Adriatic. Unusually attractive is the great scenic and historic interest
attaching to Pola, Sebenico, Gravossa, Spalato, Ragusa, etc.
_Cloth bound, 362 pages. Profusely illustrated in color
and half-tone. $2.00, net; by mail, $2.16_
