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._
