Feminism -- Fiction; Humorous stories; Sex role -- Fiction; Women's rights -- Fiction
A story of the Mohammedan world which holds the reader's attention
unfailingly from beginning to end. The narration of Selim, the
Moslem's quest for a satisfying religion has the quality of reality.
Dramatic interest and thrills of adventure are here in full measure.
It is a worthy addition to missionary narration and in view of recent
portentious events in the near East a timely and acceptable work.
_CHARLES H. LERRIGO_
Doc Williams
A Tale of the Middle West. 12mo, cloth, net $1.25.
The story of a "doctor of the old school" with every element which
makes a novel worth the reading, plot, character delineation, setting,
style--all are here. Intensely human, natural, humorous, pathetic,
joyous. The originality of the plot piques the reader's curiosity
and the most jaded devourer of novels will find himself irresistibly
held in delightful suspense. The sentiment and suggestion and mellow
philosophy which run through the story are altogether delightful.
_I. T. THURSTON_
The Torch Bearer
A Camp Fire Girls' Story. Illustrated, net $1.00.
The author of "The Bishop's Shadow" and "The Scout Master of Troop 5,"
has scored another conspicuous success in this new story of girl life.
She shows conclusively that she knows how to reach the heart of a girl
as well as that of a boy. The beautiful ritual and practices of "The
Camp Fire Girls" are woven into a story of surpassing interest and
charm.
