=CAROLINA LEE. By Lillian Bell. With frontispiece by Dora
Wheeler Keith.=
Carolina Lee is the Uncle Tom's Cabin of Christian Science. Its
keynote is "Divine Love" in the understanding of the knowledge of all
good things which may be obtainable. When the tale is told, the sick
healed, wrong changed to right, poverty of purse and spirit turned
into riches, lovers made worthy of each other and happily united,
including Carolina Lee and her affinity, it is borne upon the reader
that he has been giving rapid attention to a free lecture on Christian
Science; that the working out of each character is an argument for
"Faith;" and that the theory is persuasively attractive.
A Christian Science novel that will bring delight to the heart of
every believer in that faith. It is a well told story, entertaining,
and cleverly mingles art, humor and sentiment.
=HILMA, by William Tillinghast Eldridge, with illustrations by
Harrison Fisher and Martin Justice, and inlay cover.=
It is a rattling good tale, written with charm, and full of remarkable
happenings, dangerous doings, strange events, jealous intrigues and
sweet love making. The reader's interest is not permitted to lag, but
is taken up and carried on from incident to incident with ingenuity
and contagious enthusiasm. The story gives us the _Graustark_ and _The
Prisoner of Zenda_ thrill, but the tale is treated with freshness,
ingenuity, and enthusiasm, and the climax is both unique and
satisfying. It will hold the fiction lover close to every page.
=THE MYSTERY OF THE FOUR FINGERS, by Fred M. White, with
halftone illustrations by Will Grefe.=
A fabulously rich gold mine in Mexico is known by the picturesque and
mysterious name of _The Four Fingers_. It originally belonged to an
Aztec tribe, and its location is known to one surviving descendant--a
man possessing wonderful occult power. Should any person unlawfully
discover its whereabouts, four of his fingers are mysteriously
removed, and one by one returned to him. The appearance of the final
fourth betokens his swift and violent death.
Surprises, strange and startling, are concealed in every chapter of
this completely engrossing detective story. The horrible fascination
of the tragedy holds one in rapt attention to the end. And through it
runs the thread of a curious love story.
