BEVERLY OF GRAUSTARK. By George Barr McCutcheon. With Color Frontispiece
and other illustrations by Harrison Fisher. Beautiful inlay picture in
colors of Beverly on the cover.
"The most fascinating, engrossing and picturesque of the season's
novels."--_Boston Herald._ "'Beverly' is altogether
charming--almost living flesh and blood."--_Louisville Times._
"Better than 'Graustark'."--_Mail and Express._ "A sequel quite as
impossible as 'Graustark' and quite as entertaining."--_Bookman._
"A charming love story well told."--_Boston Transcript._
HALF A ROGUE. By Harold MacGrath. With illustrations and inlay cover
picture by Harrison Fisher.
"Here are dexterity of plot, glancing play at witty talk,
characters really human and humanly real, spirit and gladness,
freshness and quick movement. 'Half a Rogue' is as brisk as a
horseback ride on a glorious morning. It is as varied as an April
day. It is as charming as two most charming girls can make it. Love
and honor and success and all the great things worth fighting for
and living for the involved in 'Half a Rogue.'"--_Phila. Press._
THE GIRL FROM TIM'S PLACE. By Charles Clark Munn. With illustrations by
Frank T. Merrill.
"Figuring in the pages of this story there are several strong
characters. Typical New England folk and an especially sturdy one,
old Cy Walker, through whose instrumentality Chip comes to
happiness and fortune. There is a chain of comedy, tragedy, pathos
and love, which makes a dramatic story."--_Boston Herald._
THE LION AND THE MOUSE. A story of American Life. By Charles Klein, and
Arthur Hornblow. With illustrations by Stuart Travis, and Scenes from
the Play.
The novel duplicated the success of the play; in fact the book is
greater than the play. A portentous clash of dominant personalities
that form the essence of the play are necessarily touched upon but
briefly in the short space of four acts. All this is narrated in
the novel with a wealth of fascinating and absorbing detail, making
it one of the most powerfully written and exciting works of fiction
given to the world in years.
BARBARA WINSLOW, REBEL. By Elizabeth Ellis. With illustrations by John
Rae, and colored inlay cover.
The following, taken from story, will best describe the heroine: A
TOAST: "To the bravest comrade in misfortune, the sweetest
companion in peace and at all times the most courageous of
women."--_Barbara Winslow._ "A romantic story, buoyant, eventful,
and in matters of love exactly what the heart could desire."--_New
York Sun._
SUSAN. By Ernest Oldmeadow. With a color frontispiece by Frank Haviland.
Medallion in color on front cover.
Lord Ruddington falls helplessly in love with Miss Langley, whom he
sees in one of her walks accompanied by her maid, Susan. Through a
misapprehension of personalities his lordship addresses a love
missive to the maid. Susan accepts in perfect good faith, and an
epistolary love-making goes on till they are disillusioned. It
naturally makes a droll and delightful little comedy; and is a
story that is particularly clever in the telling.
WHEN PATTY WENT TO COLLEGE. By Jean Webster. With illustrations by C. D.
Williams.
"The book is a treasure."--_Chicago Daily News._ "Bright,
whimsical, and thoroughly entertaining."--_Buffalo Express._ "One
of the best stories of life in a girl's college that has ever been
written."--_N. Y. Press._ "To any woman who has enjoyed the
pleasures of a college life this book cannot fail to bring back
many sweet recollections; and to those who have not been to college
the wit, lightness, and charm of Patty are sure to be no less
delightful."--_Public Opinion._
THE MASQUERADER. By Katherine Cecil Thurston. With illustrations by
Clarence F. Underwood.
"You can't drop it till you have turned the last page."--_Cleveland
Leader._ "Its very audacity of motive, of execution, of solution,
almost takes one's breath away. The boldness of its denouement is
sublime."--_Boston Transcript._ "The literary hit of a generation.
The best of it is the story deserves all its success. A masterly
story."--_St. Louis Dispatch._ "The story is ingeniously told, and
cleverly constructed."--_The Dial._
THE GAMBLER. By Katherine Cecil Thurston. With illustrations by John
Campbell.
"Tells of a high strung young Irish woman who has a passion for
gambling, inherited from a long line of sporting ancestors. She has
a high sense of honor, too, and that causes complications. She is a
very human, lovable character, and love saves her."--_N. Y. Times._
THE AFFAIR AT THE INN. By Kate Douglas Wiggin. With illustrations by
Martin Justice.
"As superlatively clever in the writing as it is entertaining in
the reading. It is actual comedy of the most artistic sort, and it
is handled with a freshness and originality that is unquestionably
novel."--_Boston Transcript._ "A feast of humor and good cheer, yet
subtly pervaded by special shades of feeling, fancy, tenderness, or
whimsicality. A merry thing in prose."--_St. Louis Democrat._
ROSE O' THE RIVER. By Kate Douglas Wiggin. With illustrations by George
Wright.
"'Rose o' the River,' a charming bit of sentiment, gracefully
written and deftly touched with a gentle humor. It is a dainty
book--daintily illustrated."--_New York Tribune._ "A wholesome,
bright, refreshing story, an ideal book to give a young
girl."--_Chicago Record-Herald._ "An idyllic story, replete with
pathos and inimitable humor. As story-telling it is perfection, and
as portrait-painting it is true to the life."--_London Mail._
TILLIE: A Mennonite Maid. By Helen R. Martin. With illustrations by
Florence Scovel Shinn.
The little "Mennonite Maid" who wanders through these pages is
something quite new in fiction. Tillie is hungry for books and
beauty and love; and she comes into her inheritance at the end.
"Tillie is faulty, sensitive, big-hearted, eminently human, and
first, last and always lovable. Her charm glows warmly, the story
is well handled, the characters skilfully developed."--_The Book
Buyer._
LADY ROSE'S DAUGHTER. By Mrs. Humphry Ward. With illustrations by Howard
Chandler Christy.
"The most marvellous work of its wonderful author."--_New York
World._ "We touch regions and attain altitudes which it is not
given to the ordinary novelist even to approach."--_London Times._
"In no other story has Mrs. Ward approached the brilliancy and
vivacity of Lady Rose's Daughter."--_North American Review._
THE BANKER AND THE BEAR. By Henry K. Webster.
"An exciting and absorbing story."--_New York Times._ "Intensely
thrilling in parts, but an unusually good story all through. There
is a love affair of real charm and most novel surroundings, there
is a run on the bank which is almost worth a year's growth, and
there is all manner of exhilarating men and deeds which should
bring the book into high and permanent favor."--_Chicago Evening
Post._
