Pam is a "classic" before her time so to speak. People are compared to
"Pam"; so to their disadvantage are most girl heroines of the novels.
She is inimitable, by herself, and oh! so wholly charming!
WHAT BECAME OF PAM
"Whether we have or have not read 'Pam,' we shall certainly find 'What
became of Pam' interesting."--DAILY TELEGRAPH.
OUR LADY OF THE BEECHES
Balzac says "The dramas of life do not lie in the circumstances
surrounding--they lie in the heart.' This is a drama of the heart.
"This tender idyll ... we can only recommend our readers to buy and read
it for themselves."--DAILY MAIL.

THE ADVENTURER
By LLOYD OSBOURNE
"Crowded with thrilling incident the narrative races along. The book can
be recommended to all who enjoy a tale of pure adventure."--TIMES.
BACCARAT
By FRANK DANBY
Author of "Pigs in Clover," etc.
This brilliant caustic writer here gives one of her vividest pictures of
a certain clique in society. She wields no timid pen and does not
hesitate to catch them _in flagrante delicto_. Yet the book is no
"preachment" from a self-assumed pulpit, it is a novel simply.
THE COUNTRY HOUSE
By JOHN GALSWORTHY
Author of "A Man of Property," etc.
This problem of the country family, the county family, is such that it
concerns every one of us vitally. What they had to solve we have to
solve. And it is Mr. Galsworthy's strong point that he never fails to
give us a new vision, nor to hold our interest intent throughout. It is
an inspiring work.
LORD KENTWELL'S LOVE AFFAIR
By FLORENCE C. PRICE
A good story of London society and of political society. Lord Kentwell
and his sisters provide a most spirited picture, and there is besides a
background of big happenings very cleverly drawn.
THE SEA WOLF
By JACK LONDON
Author of "The Call of the Wild."
A gruesome, thrilling story of the sea. Mr. London brings always the
breath of big spaces, the tenseness of great actions and the flesh and
blood of real life, of adventures really lived, into his books. As a
story, apart from anything else, it is probably as good a book as Mr.
London has ever written.
THE NIGGER OF THE "NARCISSUS"
By JOSEPH CONRAD
Author of "Typhoon," etc.
Mr. Conrad is a writer to whom the public instinctively turn nowadays
for an exciting, closely analysed study of men. The DAILY CHRONICLE
says: "It is written by a man who knows every phase of the sea ... and
it is written by a man who can write."
THE MAGNETIC NORTH
By ELIZABETH ROBINS
Author of "Come and Find Me," etc.
A story of the ever-calling North.
"It is all so excellently written, so vividly realised, so picturesquely
put before the reader that it would be impossible not to be attracted."
--WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.
TWO NOVELS by E. F. BENSON
Author of "Sheaves," etc. etc.
THE BLOTTING BOOK
A murder story, most ingeniously worked out. Mr. Benson carries the
reader along full speed to a truly dramatic ending.
THE BABE B.A.
