"When one receives full measure to overflowing of delight in a tender,
charming, and wholly fascinating new piece of fiction, the enthusiasm is
apt to come uppermost. Miss MacGowan has been known before, but her
best gift has here declared itself."--_Louisville Post_.
"The story begins and ends in Western Texas. Between chapters, there is
the ostensible autobiography of a girl who makes her way in New York
journalism. Out of it all comes a book, vivid, bright, original--one of
a kind and the kind most welcome to readers of the hitherto
conventional."--_New York World_.
*The Captain's Wife.* By W. CLARK RUSSELL, author of "The Wreck of the
Grosvenor." With a frontispiece by C. H. Dunton.
