The best work that Anne Warner has published. Miss Clegg has become an
institution in the humor of America.--_Baltimore Sun_.
Her "Susan Clegg" stories, rich in pungent humor and extremely clever in
their portrayal of quaint and amusing character, deserve a place among
the choice specimens of American humorous literature--which means the
best humorous literature in the world.--_New York Times_.
Sure to be welcomed by that large class of readers who found in "Susan
Clegg and Her Friend Mrs. Lathrop" one of the most genuinely humorous
books ever written by a woman on this side of the Atlantic.--_St. Louis
Globe-Democrat_.

_A New Story by the Author of "Susan Clegg"_
THE REJUVENATION
OF AUNT MARY
By ANNE WARNER
Author of "Susan Clegg and Her Friend Mrs. Lathrop," "A Woman's Will,"
etc.
With four full page illustrations.
12mo. Decorated cloth, $1.50.
This very clever and original story by the creator of "Susan Clegg" will
add materially to her reputation as a writer of popular fiction. "Aunt
Mary" and her adventures in New York are simply delicious; and her
nephew, Jack, and his college friends, who personally conduct her
through the metropolis, are brimful of brightness and humor. A pretty
love story runs through the book. "Aunt Mary's" magazine debut delighted
thousands of readers, and the publication of the story in a more
permanent form, with new chapters, and scenes, will increase her
popularity.
Anne Warner takes her place in the circle of American woman humorists,
who have achieved distinction so rapidly within recent years.--_Brooklyn
Eagle_.
Anne Warner is not only a funmaker but adds to that the quality of
sympathy with her characters.--_Public Opinion_.

_An International Love Comedy_
A WOMAN'S WILL
By ANNE WARNER
Author of "Susan Clegg and Her Friend Mrs. Lathrop."
It is a relief to take up a volume so absolutely free from
stressfulness. The love-making is passionate, the humor of much of the
conversation is thoroughly delightful. The book is as refreshing a bit
of fiction as one often finds; there is not a dull page in
it.--_Providence Journal_.
It is bright, charming, and intense as it describes the wooing of a
young American widow on the European Continent by a German musical
genius.--_San Francisco Chronicle_.
A deliciously funny book.--_Chicago Tribune_.
There is a laugh on nearly every page.--_New York Times_.
Most decidedly an unusual story. The dialogue is nothing if not
original, and the characters are very unique. There is something
striking on every page of the book.--_Newark Advertiser_.
A more vivacious light novel could not be found.--_Chicago
Record-Herald_.
Illustrated by I. H. Caliga. 360 pages. 12mo.
Decorated cloth, $1.50.
