_REINCARNATION; OR, THE TWO MARIES._

"The story is one of the most gripping that I have ever read. I am
still suffering from its grippe."--_Lord Thanet in "The Daily
Feature."_

_Also ready to-day. The Book of the Year._
_FROM SCREEN TO THRONE._
By HARRY EGBOLD.
"I am glad to pay a tribute to the sincerity, intimate knowledge and
exalted Quixotry of this extraordinary book. It is the best that has
ever been written."--_Lord Thanet in "The Daily Mary."_

_The Novel of the Century._
_THE PERILS OF MAJESTY._
By H. STICKHAM WEED.
In MALLABY-DEELEY cloth, with luminous portraits.
"It is so rich in plums that I do not recommend anyone to read more
than half-a-column at a time. In this way the pleasure and profit can
be spread over several weeks. This wonderful book is the product of a
brilliant thinker and tender-hearted gentleman. My shelves are full,
but I should take down any war-book to make room for this."--_Lord
Thanet (third review in "The Douglas Daily Dispatch.")_
* * * * *
_A Novel of Super-Pathos._
_THE QUEEN'S REST CURE._
By "MR. X."
"_The Queen's Rest-Cure_ is a greater book than _The Rescue_ by JOSEPH
CONRAD, because the sinister thrill of suspense yields to the ever-
fresh romance of young love. I have read and re-read it with tears of
pure delight, punctuated with shrieks of happy laughter."--_Lord Thanet
in "The Maryland Mirror."_
* * * * *
_QUOTES AND CHEERIES._
A medium of instruction and enlightenment for literary gents, gentle
readers and all persons anxious to think about four things at once.

England appears in the current issue of _Quotes and Cheeries_ under the

the Queen to Wimbledon in a taxi driven by Sir Philip Phibbs, afterwards
Lord Fountain of Penn.

[Illustration: _Golfer_. "WHAT'S THE MATTER, SANDY? AREN'T YOU GOING TO
PLAY THIS AFTERNOON?"
_Sandy_. "MAN, HAVE YOU NOT HEARD? I'VE LOST MA BALL."]

ELIZABETH GOES TO THE SALES.
"Are you goin' to the Summer Sales this year, 'm?" inquired Elizabeth,
suddenly projecting herself on the horizon of my thoughts.
