Books in Brief reviews Frank R Stockton’s tale The Lady or the Tiger set in an ancient kingdom. A king uses a two‑door arena where choosing the tiger means guilt and death while choosing the maiden grants instant marriage. The justice system delights the public with its brutal simplicity.
Frank R. Stockton, born in Philadelphia in 1834 and died in 1902, was an editor and writer famed for humor. His career included St. Nicholas Magazine, the Century, and Hearth and Home, and his works amused readers without pushing a cause.
The tale centers on a royal daughter who loves a commoner, a public trial, and a dramatic fate decided by the princess. As the crowd watches, a secret signal directs the lover to the correct door for the tiger. The princess endures torment before her final choice, with commentary from Frank Stockton on the narrative.

A Paris stylist introduces cerise as a vivid pink shade stepping beyond fuchsia. Lelong uses it for a dewing sash around a deep blue evening gown with a halter neck.
