=The Square Peg.=
By W. E. NORRIS. Author of “Lord Leonard the Luckless,” etc.
An admirable story of country-house life, full of human interest, and
written in the inimitable style that has won for Mr. Norris such a
multitude of readers. The characters are all real people whose doings
will engage the reader’s attention until the last page is reached.
=Marcus Hay.=
By STANLEY PORTAL HYATT.
A tale of frontier life in South-East Africa. To those who would
enjoy a first-class tale of adventure, written by a man who knows
this part of Africa at first-hand, “Marcus Hay,” gentleman and daring
explorer, can be heartily commended. The story opens quietly, but
soon the reader finds that he cannot put the book down.
=The Helpmate.=
By MAY SINCLAIR. Author of “The Divine Fire,” etc.
A powerful story, tracing the development of character through
passion and misunderstanding. The plot of the story is most
engrossing. Miss Sinclair’s last book brought her wide popularity.
=A Walking Gentleman.=
By JAMES PRIOR. Author of “Forest Folk,” “Hyssop,” etc.
The story concerns itself with the adventures of a young nobleman who
on the eve of his wedding abandons his class and takes to the road.
The book has a new note in it--it is fresh and altogether different
from the ruck of most modern novels.
=Nicolete.= A Novel.
By EVELYN SHARP. Author of “The Youngest Girl in the School.”
There is no writer whose stories of children, young and old, reveal
more wonderful insight or are more enjoyable both on account of their
truth of observation and their humour. The heroine of the story,
Nicolete, daughter of a clever, impractical artist, is a charming
study.
