"'Other People's Houses' possesses that distinction of style in
which most of our current American fiction is so lamentably
deficient, and it has in addition the advantage of a theme which is
a grateful relief from the usual saccharine love story admittedly
designed to suit the caramel age.... Miss Dewing has a fine feeling
for comedy and gives evidence of both genuine talent and a fresh
and vivid outlook upon life."--_New York Times._
"It is a story rich in atmosphere, in allusion, and in vistas....
The story is full of action. The characters have virility and in
certain instances charm, and the course of the story awakens no
little concern on the part of the reader. An interesting, varied,
and amusing group of persons is presented, and, ... take it for all
in all, it is a work of taste, discrimination, and power.... Its
publishers may congratulate themselves on having come upon another
oasis in the present desert of American fiction."--_Chicago
Tribune._
"If an unknown author is to keep an entire novel to this level,
that author will be unknown no longer, but at a single bound has
reached the height, not only of good American novelists, but of any
novelist doing fiction in these days."--_Chicago Post._

AMONG RECENT NOVELS
F. MARION CRAWFORD'S
Stradella
_Illustrated, cloth, 12mo, $1.50,_
"Schools of fiction have come and gone, but Mr. Crawford has always
remained in favor. There are two reasons for his continued
popularity; he always had a story to tell and he knew how to tell
it. He was a born story teller, and what is more rare, a trained
one."--_The Independent._
The White Sister
_Illustrated cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"Mr. Crawford tells his love story with plenty of that dramatic
instinct which was ever one of his best gifts. We are, as always,
absorbed and amused."--_New York Tribune._
"Good stirring romance, simple and poignant."--_Chicago Record
Herald._
"His people are always vividly real, invariably
individual."--_Boston Transcript._
ROBERT HERRICK'S
Together
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"An able book, remarkably so, and one which should find a place in
the library of any woman who is not a fool."--_Editorial in the New
York American._
A Life for a Life
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
Mr. W. D. Howells says in the _North American Review_: "What I
should finally say of his work is that it is more broadly based
than that of any other American novelist of his generation.... Mr.
Herrick's fiction is a force for the higher civilization, which to
be widely felt, needs only to be widely known."
