With occasional Vermont verse by SARAH N. CLEGHORN.
"No writer since Lowell has interpreted the rural Yankee more
faithfully."--_Review of Reviews._
THE REAL MOTIVE
Unlike "Hillsboro People," this collection of stories has many
backgrounds, but it is unified by the underlying humanity which unites
all the characters.
UNDERSTOOD BETSY
Illustrated by ADA C. WILLIAMSON.
"Children will read it eagerly for the story of a very real
little girl. Parents will find it worth a whole shelf of books
on child training. Teachers will get more than one pointer from
its pages, and anyone with a grain of humor can't afford to
miss it."--_Publishers' Weekly._
BY SIMEON STRUNSKY
PROFESSOR LATIMER'S PROGRESS
The "sentimental journey" of a middle-aged American scholar upon whose
soul the war has come down heavily, and who seeks a cure--and an
answer--in a walking trip up-State.
"The war has produced no other book like 'Professor Latimer's
Progress,' with its sanative masculine blend of deep feeling,
fluid intelligence, and heart-easing mirth, its people a joyous
company. It is a spiritual adventure, the adventure of the
American soul in search of a new foothold in a tottering world.
We have so many books of documents, of animus, or argument;
what a refreshment to fall in, for once in a way, with a book
of that quiet creative humor whose 'other name' is
wisdom."--_The Nation._
LITTLE JOURNEYS TOWARDS PARIS (1914-1918)
By W. HOHENZOLLERN, translated and adapted for unteutored minds by
SIMEON STRUNSKY.
"If only the Germans could be supplied with translations of
this exquisite satire they would die laughing at the grisly
joke on themselves. Not only funny, it is a final reductio ad
absurdum of the Hun philosophy."--_Chicago Tribune._

A romance of a New England summer colony.
"Margaret Widdemer, who says she likes happy stories, proves it

interest in the situation holds to the last half page."--_N.Y.
Evening Post._

_POETRY_
