"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 QuarterIn 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 ArtistsCharles 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 BookWatcrcolor 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, $1.20, post-paid.

"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.
135 Captivating PicturesSix in colors, 16 full-page half-tone inserts, 58 full-page text drawings, 55 half-page and smaller text drawings by the author and several French artists, including Galaniz, Sancha, Cardona, Sunyer, Michael, Perenet, and Pezilla.

"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.

"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
