Sinister Street
By Compton Mackenzie
You know what a furore “Carnival” caused in the book world.
“Sinister Street” is an even bigger story. The novel chronicles
the history of Michael Fane, his brilliant career at Oxford and
his romantic adventures in London and Paris. The story is told
with all the author’s power of description. The same charm which
won the reader’s interest in “Carnival” is more than fulfilled in
this life history of Michael Fane.

To-day’s Daughter
By Josephine Daskam Bacon
In this new novel Mrs. Bacon gives a vivid picture of the
earnest, economically independent woman of today as contrasted
with the woman whose time is devoted to the demands of modern
society. To-day’s Daughter is a true daughter of the period and
the experiences she encounters in her efforts to achieve a career
are bound to provoke discussion. Every thinking woman should read
the book.

THE TRAVAIL OF A SOUL
BY
GEORGE F. BUTLER
“The Travail of a Soul” embraces the whole experience of a man’s
life; his confused search for the means of gratifying his
unconquerable thirst for the Beautiful, his struggles with
temptation, his mistakes,—his final achievement of Understanding
and Happiness and Love. Few works in verse or prose form have of
recent years been offered which are conceived on so broad a
plane, and tell a mysterious and absorbing tale in phrases so
scholarly and full of real beauty.
Limited edition. Price $2.00.
LYRICS OF A LAD
BY
SCHARMEL IRIS
The first published volume, containing the short, imaginative and
unusually impassioned work of a young Italian poet, Scharmel
Iris, who promises to win a similar place in the ranks of the
more important American poets to that held by Rossetti, in
England.
Of those whose work has received general or convincing
recognition no one has been distinguished by more genuine or
appreciative criticism and comment than Scharmel Iris. Such men
as John Ruskin, Algernon Swinburne, and Edmund Gosse have
expressed their belief in the inspired nature and in the power of
this young poet.

No-Rim-Cut Tires
With All-Weather Treads or Smooth
GOODYEAR ALL-WEATHER TREAD
Fortified Tires
Goodyear tires never reached top place without a reason for it.
There are five major reasons, and all of these five are exclusive
to Goodyear Fortified tires.
We combat rim-cutting in the best way known—a way which we
control.
We insure safety—insure that tires stay on—by vulcanizing six
flat bands of 126 braided wires into the tire base to make it
unstretchable.
We save the blowouts due to wrinkled fabric by our exclusive and
costly “On-Air” cure.
We reduce loose tread risk 60 per cent by a patent method we
alone employ.
We combat punctures and skidding by our All-Weather tread—tough
and double-thick—flat and smooth-running—with sharp, resistless
grips.
No other tire, remember, contains one of these features. None
anything like them. And these things today mark the quality
tire—the safe, sturdy, low-cost-per-mile tire. That’s why these
tires out-sell any other. And that’s why the demand in the past
five years has multiplied fourteen times over. Any dealer will
supply you.

The Artist’s Piano
The most convincing demonstration of the superiority of the Mason
& Hamlin Piano is found in its continued use by those whose
judgment is authoritative. The supreme test lies in the fact that
so many artists who have played all other leading pianos have
finally turned to the Mason & Hamlin as the instrument best
suited to their exacting requirements.

_New Joseph Conrad Stories_
A SET OF SIX
_Containing five short stories never before published in
America and “The Duel,” formerly published as “The Point of
Honor”_
The publication of this volume for the first time in the American
Edition of Conrad’s works is in response to an interest that is
rapidly making the name and work of Joseph Conrad known
everywhere.
It marks the full turn of the tide in favor of this wonderful
Polish-English writer.
The stories included are:
GASPAR RUIZ—A Romantic Tale
THE INFORMER—An Ironic Tale
THE BRUTE—An Indignant Tale
AN ANARCHIST—A Desperate Tale
THE DUEL—A Military Tale
IL CONDE—A Pathetic Tale
Five of these are practically unknown to American readers. Of
“The Duel,” (formerly “The Point of Honor”) Mr. Curle, in his
critical work on Joseph Conrad writes:
“It is a work of wide imaginative impulse—a wonderful
reconstruction of the Napoleonic atmosphere. As a sustained
effort in Conrad’s sardonic later style it is unmatched.”

Chance
“‘Chance’ is a book that could have been written by no one but a
master—a book which it is well nigh a duty for every lover of
good writing to read.”—BASIL KING, author of “The Inner Shrine,”
etc.
Youth
_Contains “Youth,” “Heart of Darkness,” and “End of the
Tether.”_
“To read it is in some sense to live again, and that, I think, is
the highest praise that can be laid upon a work of the
imagination.”—HENRY L. MENCKEN.
Lord Jim
“‘Lord Jim’ is the greatest psychological study of cowardice that
I have ever read.”—DAVID BELASCO.
The Nigger of the Narcissus
“The sea, in his hands, fades to a background—sometimes smooth
and blue—sometimes white and furious—but always a background
against which are silhouetted the haunting figures in which he
interprets man’s endless struggle.”—Chicago _Evening Post_.
’Twixt Land and Sea
AND TWO OTHER SEA STORIES
“Mr. Conrad has never painted more vivid scenes of nature or
looked more deeply into the hearts of his characters than in this
moving book.”—_The Outlook._
Almayer’s Folly, and An Outcast of the Islands
_Mr. Conrad’s first and second novels_
“The figures in these books live for us, and above and beyond
them are the power of presentment, the marvellous faculty for the
absolute creation of atmosphere, the genius for description, and
the individual, finished style which these, Mr. Conrad’s earliest
works, display.”—Sir HUGH CLIFFORD, K.C.M.G., in the _North
American Review_.
Falk
_Contains “Falk,” “Amy Foster,” and “To-morrow.”_
“‘Falk’ leaves one inclined to declare that the writing of that
one story would be sufficient to place him among the
immortals.”—_New York Times._
Typhoon
“To read a story like ‘Typhoon’ is to undergo an almost physical
experience. It is unforgettable, even as the experience it
pictures and interprets must be unforgettable.”—HILDEGARDE
HAWTHORNE.
Romance
(_With_ FORD MADOX HUEFFER)
“‘Romance’ is indeed a work of blazing imagination. It is a sheer
novel of adventure, and the glory of it lies in its color and
shifting lights.”—RICHARD CURLE, in “Joseph Conrad.”

Carranza and Mexico
by CARLO DE FORNARO
“Carranza and Mexico” tells the story of the Mexican revolt
during the last three years—the true story of the fifteen million
peons who are making history, breaking tradition and waging a
vigorous battle for liberty and common justice.
To the student of sociological problems, Mexico is probably the
most fascinating spot in the universe. Its problem is so
complicated that very few people indeed know what the trouble
really is about. Mr. Fornaro does. He has lived for a long time
in Mexico, and his book, which tells of the overthrow of Madero,
the campaign against Huerta, Wilson’s Mexican Policy, and other
matters of immediate interest, is the result of a labor extending
over a period of ten years.

_Post Impressionist Poems_
By Horace Holey
This is a notable volume of verse, called “Post Impressionist,”
because in spirit it is based upon a warm sympathy for the art of
the greater Post-Impressionists. Symmetric form is disregarded
for the more characteristically modern effects of rhythm.
It is distinguished throughout by clear convinced thought, strong
and definite emotion and a fine mastery of rhythmic phrase. It is
not passionate in the romantic sense—that is, the thought is not
a mere decoration of the mood, but it certainly is passionate in
the sense that thought and emotion are continually welded
together by the white heat of personal conviction.

The Primal Law
_A Novel_
By ISABEL OSTRANDER
An engrossing story of a woman’s way through the third decade of
her life—and of the various men with whom she comes in contact.
Ben Donahue, a fellow mill-worker in a small New England town;
Marcus Beeman, the salesman who takes her to New York; Frank
Kelly, the famous horse-trainer with whom she sees Saratoga,
Paris, London and Dublin; Baron Georges Iverskoi of Russia, whose
companion she is in Biarritz, Monte-Carlo, Aix, Trouville, Rome,
Ostende and other places; Captain Cecil Cope-Herrington; Senor
Delvajo, the Spanish painter; Richard Dangerfield, the American
sculptor, whose career her love unwittingly ruins—these are but a
few of the characters that are intimately pictured in these
pages. “The Primal Law” presents a rare panorama of the
cosmopolitan life that the European War has now brought abruptly
to an end. And withal, it is a book written with a serious
underlying motive.

The World of H. G. Wells
By Van Wyck Brooks
Certainly no writer has of late been more in the public eye than
H. G. Wells. It is high time, therefore, that a complete and
trenchant study of his work and personality in all their various
phases should be published. And that is just what Mr. Brooks has
written. To his task he has brought rare gifts of analysis and
synthesis, together with no little charm. The result is a book
which will be welcomed as one of the most informative and
interesting in critical literature. A clear understanding of H.
G. Wells is imperative for all thoughtful men and women, and no
more appropriate time than the present could be found for issuing
a book that fully satisfies that need.

MITCHELL KENNERLEY’S RAILROAD NOVELS
Most people when they are traveling like to read—nothing heavy or
too serious—but a good yarn that will amuse and interest them. To
supply just this want I have started my series of “Railroad
Novels.” Each volume is a rattling tale, well told, and the books
are printed in large type on light paper, and bound in limp
cloth. They will fit most pockets, and weigh very little. They
are uniform in appearance and price.
Can a Man Be True?
By WINIFRED GRAHAM
A good old-fashioned tale of adventure and intrigue, which in
some ways recalls “The Prisoner of Zenda,” and the romances of
the great Dumas. The sort of story that is passing now, but which
every one enjoys once in a while. No sex, no problem, but lots of
plot and counterplot and excitement. A book that may be read and
enjoyed by every member of the family.

Books By Havelock Ellis
Mr. Ellis is one of the most distinguished psychologists, and men
of letters in the world today. He is a scientist with a vision
and a sense of humor, a traveler who sees below the surface, and
a scholar who has read and digested a great part of the world’s
literature without becoming a pedant. To readers of THE LITTLE
REVIEW who are not familiar with his work we confidently
recommend any of the four books below.
IMPRESSIONS AND COMMENTS
“A book of random observations, thoughts, and half-thoughts,
crotchets, hobbies, guesses, and whims. One day Mr. Ellis muses
over a drunken woman and on another he descants on the evolution
of furniture, having in the meanwhile declared his taste in
architecture, the women of Normandy, the ugliness of modern
civilization, and the music of Franck and Elgar, and his opinion
of the devil, Cornishmen, George Meredith, Raphael, Gaby Deslys,
war, and nakedness.”

THE TASK OF SOCIAL HYGIENE
A discussion of the changing status of woman, the emancipation of
woman in relation to romantic love, the significance of the
falling birth-rate, and other aspects of sex and society. “It is
an inspiring and reassuring volume, which deserves not one but
several readings from everyone who takes anything more than a
predatory interest in the social organism.”

THE WORLD OF DREAMS
A scholarly, yet entertaining study of just the peculiarities and
curiosities of the world of dreams which everybody has wondered

which combine so charmingly in Kipling’s “The Brushwood Boy,” and
at the same time interprets them in the light of a psychologist’s
special knowledge.
