The Master’s Violin
By MYRTLE REED
[Illustration: small image of book cover]
A Love Story with a musical atmosphere. A picturesque, old German
virtuoso is the reverent possessor of a genuine Cremona. He consents to
take as his pupil a handsome youth who proves to have an aptitude for
technique, but not the soul of the artist. The youth has led the happy,
careless life of a modern, well-to-do young American, and he cannot,
with his meagre past, express the love, the longing, the passion and the
tragedies of life and its happy phases as can the master who has lived
life in all its fulness. But a girl comes into his existence, a
beautiful bit of human driftwood that his aunt had taken into her heart
and home; and through his passionate love for her, he learns the lessons
that life has to give—and his soul awakens.
Founded on a fact well known among artists, but not often recognized or
discussed.

If you have not read “Lavender and Old Lace” by the same author, you
have a double pleasure in store—for these two books show Myrtle Reed in
her most delightful, fascinating vein—indeed they may be considered as
masterpieces of compelling interest.

The Prodigal Judge
By VAUGHAN KESTER
This great novel—probably the most popular book in this country
to-day—is as human as a story from the pen of that great master of
“immortal laughter and immortal tears,” Charles Dickens.
