^LAVENDER AND OLD LACE.^
A charming story of a quaint corner of New England where bygone
romance finds a modern parallel. The story centers round the coming
of love to the young people on the staff of a newspaper--and it is
one of the prettiest, sweetest and quaintest of old fashioned love
stories, * * * a rare book, exquisite in spirit and conception, full
of delicate fancy, of tenderness, of delightful humor and
spontaniety.
^A SPINNER IN THE SUN.^
Miss Myrtle Reed may always be depended upon to write a story in
which poetry, charm, tenderness and humor are combined into a clever
and entertaining book. Her characters are delightful and she always
displays a quaint humor of expression and a quiet feeling of pathos
which give a touch of active realism to all her writings. In
“A Spinner in the Sun” she tells an old-fashioned love story, of a
veiled lady who lives in solitude and whose features her neighbors
have never seen. There is a mystery at the heart of the book that
throws over it the glamour of romance.
^THE MASTER’S VIOLIN,^
A love story in a musical atmosphere. A picturesque, old German
virtuoso is the reverent possessor of a genuine “Cremona.” He
consents to take for his pupil a handsome youth who proves to have
an aptitude for technique, but not the soul of an artist. The youth
has led the happy, careless life of a modern, well-to-do young
American and he cannot, with his meagre past, express the love, the
passion and the tragedies of life and all its happy phases as can
the master who has lived life in all its fulness. But a girl comes
into his life--a beautiful bit of human driftwood that his aunt had
taken into her heart and home, and through his passionate love for
her, he learns the lessons that life has to give--and his soul
awakes.
Founded on a fact that all artists realize.
