"SOPHIE MAY NEVER PROSES, NEVER IMITATES."

The Asbury Twins.

By SOPHIE MAY, author of "Little Prudy," etc. A companion volume to Our Helen" and " 'The Doctor's Daughter," by the same author. 4to, illustrated, $1.75.

"The Asbury Twins,' by Sophie May, is the natural sequel to the delightful story, Our Helen,' by the same author, for in it we are vouchsafed glimpses of Sharley and Helen, and some others of the fascinating characters of 'Our Helen,' and the twins Vic and Van, grown to fair maidenhood, form the heroines as well as the story-tellers of the present charming volume. For pure loveliness and natural captivation, the story is an example not by any means common. The more of such books published the better young women will be, and we doubt not young men will find full as much pleasure in the story as their sisters."-Boston Traveller.

The drawings are all beyond praise, and the engraving of them has been done with a delicacy and care seldom to be met with in books of the moderate assumption of the present.
