"This delightful story, so filled with blended poetry and common
sense, reminds one, as he reaches instinctively for a parallel,
of the rarely delicate and beautiful ones told by Thomas Bailey
Aldrich."--_Washington Star._
"A rare performance in American literature. Everybody knows who
the Poet is, but if they want to know him as a kind of Good
Samaritan in a different way than they know him in his verses,
they should read this charming idyll."--_Boston Transcript._
Illustrated in color. $1.30 _net_.

THE STREET OF SEVEN STARS
By Mary Roberts Rinehart
A story of two young lovers--students in far-away Vienna--and their
struggle with poverty and temptation. Incidentally, a graphic picture of
life in the war-worn city of the Hapsburgs.
_From Letters to the Author_:
"Fresh and clean and sweet--a story which makes one feel the
better for having read it and wish that he could know all of
your dear characters."--_California._
"Little that has been written in the last decade has given me
such pleasure, and nothing has moved me to pen to an author a
word of praise until to-day."--_Utah._
"'The Street of Seven Stars' will be read fifty years from now,
and will still be helping people to be braver and better."--_New
York._
"It stands far above any recent fiction I have
read."--_Massachusetts._
"Quite the best thing you have ever written."--_Connecticut._
