*_A Choice of Letters By Entertaining Hands_* EDITED BY E.V. LUCAS _Cloth, $1.25 net._ An anthology of letter-writing so human, interesting, and amusing from first to last, as almost to inspire one to attempt the restoration of the lost art. "There is hardly a letter among them all that one would have left out, and the book is of such pleasant size and appearance, that one would not have it added to, either."--_The New York Times_. "Letters of news and of gossip, of polite nonsense, of humor and pathos, of friendship, of quiet reflection, stately letters in the grand manner, and naive letters by obscure and ignorant folk."

LUCAS *Over Bemerton's* _A Novel_ After seeing modern problems vividly dissected, and after the excitement of thrilling adventure stories, it will be positively restful to drop into the cozy lodgings over Bemerton's second-hand bookstore for a drifting, delightful talk with a man of wide reading, who has travelled in unexpected places, who has an original way of looking at life, and a happy knack of expressing what is seen. There are few books which so perfectly suggest without apparent effort a charmingly natural and real personality. _Decorated cloth, $1.50 net._ *Mr. Ingleside* (The Macmillan Fiction Library) The author almost succeeds in making the reader believe that he is actually mingling with the people of the story and attending their picnics and parties. Some of them are Dickensian and quaint, some of them splendid types of to-day, but all of them are touched off with sympathy and skill and with that gentle humor in which Mr. Lucas shows the intimate quality, the underlying tender humanity, of his art. _Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.50 net._ *Listener's Lure* _A Kensington Comedy_ A novel, original and pleasing, whose special charm lies in its happy phrasing of acute observations of life. For the delicacy with which his personalities reveal themselves through their own letters, "the book might be favorably compared," says the Chicago _Tribune_, "with much of Jane Austen's character work"--and the critic proceeds to justify, by quotations, what he admits is high praise indeed. _Cloth, 12mo, $1.50 net._ * * * * * THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Publishers 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York OTHER WORKS BY E.V.
