As a study of some of the realities of London life, this novel is one
of notable merit. The slaves of chance, and, it might be added, of
temptation, are five pretty girls, the daughters of a pretty widow,
whose means are scarcely sufficient, even living as they do, in a
quiet way and in a quiet London street, to make both ends meet.
Dealing, as he does, with many sides of London life, the writer
sketches varied types of character, and his creations are cleverly
defined. He tells an interesting tale with delicacy and in a fresh,
attractive style.
Her Boston Experiences. By MARGARET ALLSTON (nom de plume).
With eighteen full-page illustrations from drawings by Frank O.
Small, and from photographs taken especially for the book.
Small 12mo, cloth decorative, gilt top, 225 pages. $1.25
A most interesting and vivacious tale, dealing with society life at
the Hub, with perhaps a tinge of the flavor of Vagabondia. The story
has appeared serially in _The Ladies' Home Journal_, where it was
received with marked success. We are not as yet at liberty to give the
true name of the author, who hides her identity under the pen name,
Margaret Allston, but she is well known in literature.
Memory Street. By MARTHA BAKER DUNN.
Author of "The Sleeping Beauty," etc.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, 300 pages. $1.25
An exceedingly beautiful story, delineating New England life and
character. The style and interest will compare favorably with the work
of such writers as Mary E. Wilkins, Kate Douglas Wiggin, and Sarah
Orne Jewett. The author has been a constant contributor to the leading
magazines, and the interest of her previous work will assure welcome
for her first novel.
Winifred. A STORY OF THE CHALK CLIFFS. By S. BARING GOULD.
Author of "Mehala," etc.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, illustrated, 350 pages. $1.50
A striking novel of English life in the eighteenth century by this
well known writer. The scene is laid partly in rural Devonshire, and
partly in aristocratic London circles.
At the Court of the King: BEING ROMANCES OF FRANCE. By G. HEMBERT
WESTLEY, editor of "For Love's Sweet Sake."
With a photogravure frontispiece from an original drawing.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, 300 pages. $1.25
Despite the prophecies of some literary experts, the historical
romance is still on the high tide of popular favor, as exemplified by
many recent successes. We feel justified, consequently, in issuing
these stirring romances of intrigue and adventure, love and war, at
the Courts of the French Kings.
God's Rebel. By HULBERT FULLER.
Author of "Vivian of Virginia."
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, 375 pages. $1.25
