Still you are not satisfied? You protest that you are a practical person
who calls a spade a spade, and you want to know, and you want to know,
and you want to know——?
Why, then you must go on with the book by yourself, Collaborator, and in
your own way. I’m at the end of my inventions. I’m tired. I want to go
to bed. I know no more of Justin Cloud and Laura Valentine.

Regiment of Women
BY CLEMENCE DANE
Cloth, 12^o, $1.50
“A striking novel ... its descriptive and psychological brilliancy
equals that of the best work offered in modern fiction.”—American Review
of Reviews.
“Its types are so individually alive, its psychology is so well
dramatized and so little dissected, and its tragedy dissolves so
naturally into a glad denouement, that its ‘too much’ is distinctly that
of a good thing.”—Life.
“‘Regiment of Women’ is a remarkable novel. It places the author
immediately among the leading fiction writers of England.”—New York
Globe.
“‘Regiment of Women’ introduces a very remarkable character ... one of
the most powerfully drawn figures in contemporary literature. Miss Dane
has made a vivid story, well calculated to hold the reader’s attention
from the very beginning and to command his praise at the end.”—Morning
Telegraph.
“The author has been daring in confining her tale so long to women, but
she has succeeded.... She has a distinct sense of style and much of the
value of the novel, which is interesting because of its perverseness, is
due to the entire adequacy of its diction.”—Boston Transcript.
“Written in an exceedingly graphic and vital way ... done with a fine
restrained, always significant touch that reveals in the author an
artist of power, taste, knowledge and skill.”—New York Times.
