Against the familiar background of American town life, the author portrays
a group of people strangely involved in a mystery. "Doc." Gordon, the one
physician of the place, Dr. Elliot, his assistant, a beautiful woman and
her altogether charming daughter are all involved in the plot. A novel of
great interest.
HOLY ORDERS. By Marie Corelli.
A dramatic story, in which is pictured a clergyman in touch with society
people, stage favorites, simple village folk, powerful financiers and
others, each presenting vital problems to this man "in holy
orders"--problems that we are now struggling with in America.
KATRINE. By Elinor Macartney Lane. With frontispiece.
Katrine, the heroine of this story, is a lovely Irish girl, of lowly
birth, but gifted with a beautiful voice.
The narrative is based on the facts of an actual singer's career, and the
viewpoint throughout is a most exalted one.

Thulstrup.
A story of life in France at the time of the first Napoleon. Fifi, a glad,
mad little actress of eighteen, is the star performer in a third rate
Parisian theatre. A story as dainty as a Watteau painting.
SHE THAT HESITATES. By Harris Dickson. Illustrated by C. W. Relyea.
The scene of this dashing romance shifts from Dresden to St. Petersburg in
the reign of Peter the Great, and then to New Orleans.
The hero is a French Soldier of Fortune, and the princess, who
hesitates--but you must read the story to know how she that hesitates may
be lost and yet saved.
