Humorous stories; United States -- Social life and customs -- 20th century -- Fiction
By LINNIE SARAH HARRIS
_With frontispiece. 12mo. $1.50_
A summer idyll, with love, music, and nature for its themes, and the
mountains and lakes for its scenes. The heroine, Peggy, is charming,
fresh, and unconventional, with a genuine love for song. The country
neighbors with their peculiarities give touches of both humor and
pathos to this appealing story.

THE WOOD-CARVER OF 'LYMPUS
By M.E. WALLER
Author of "A Daughter of the Rich," etc.
With frontispiece by Chase Emerson. 12mo. 311 pages. $1.50
A strong tale of human loves and hopes set in a background of the
granite mountain-tops of remote New England.--_Brooklyn Eagle_.
Hugh Armstrong, the hero, is one of the pronouncedly high class
character delineations of a quarter century.--_Boston Courier_.
It is a book which does one good to read and which is not readily
forgotten; for in it are mingled inextricably the elements of humor
and pathos and also a strain of generous feeling which uplifts and
humanizes.--Harry Thruston Peck, Editor of _The Bookman_.
A few books are published every year that really minister to the tired
hearts of this hurried age. They are like little pilgrimages away from
the world across the Delectable Mountains of Good.... This year it is
"The Wood-Carver of 'Lympus."... It is all told with a primitive
sweetness that is refreshing in these days when every writer
cultivates the clever style.--_Independent_, New York.
The book is as manly as "Ralph Connors," and written with a more
satisfying art.--Amos E. Wells, in _Christian Endeavor World_.
