“The writer unfolds an every-day tragedy with that touch of inevitableness that we usually associate with the work of the masters.”--_New York Evening Telegram._ “A remarkable story in many respects; it makes one think, as well as sympathize, and gives pleasure as a tale as well as stimulates as a problem.”--_Chicago Record-Herald._ “The book has not only a literary grace and distinction, but a sympathetic understanding of conditions, a sense of their artistic values; and a strong feeling for that law of life from which the book takes its title.”--_Louisville Evening Post._ “Miss Sholl has handled her subject with admirable sureness of touch, with dignity and proper restraint. Her lovers are beings of flesh and blood, not puppets; she faces the problem fully, fearlessly; hence the compelling strength of the story, its exceptional merit as the product of an American pen.”--_New York Mail and Express._ D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, NEW YORK. * * * * * A NEW BOOK BY MISS FOWLER. “For months to come the story will be talked about by some millions of the population of the British Islands.” --_Literary World, London._ =Place and Power.= By ELLEN THORNEYCROFT FOWLER, Author of “Concerning Isabel Carnaby,” “The Farringdons,” etc. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. The story of an ambitious young man whose most cherished aims are frustrated through retributive justice. The story is full of interest and attractive characterization, the main action of the plot is skilfully hidden until the right moment, and the dialogue is entertaining and clever. “A story as brilliant as it is wholesome. Wit and satire flash in the dialogue, and the love scenes are delightful.”--_Evening Sun, New York._ “A better book in some respects than the much read ‘Isabel Carnaby.’”--_Evening Post, Louisville, Ky._ “Keeps up her reputation for epigram, brilliant delineation of character, and social climaxes.”--_Courier-Journal, Louisville, Ky._ “Full of intellect and brightness.”--_Globe-Democrat, St. Louis._ “Miss Fowler’s old lightness and cleverness of touch show throughout the book.”--_The World, New York._ “The same ring of keen insight, understanding of types of human nature, and ability to create brilliant conversations--the faint, whimsical describing of the hearts of her characters, which gives so vivid and lasting a conception of their personalities.”--_Pioneer Press, St. Paul._ D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, NEW YORK. * * * * * TWO IMPORTANT WORKS OF FICTION. =The Silver Poppy.= By ARTHUR STRINGER. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
