"A NOVEL THAT'S WORTH WHILE"
_The_ REDEMPTION
_of_ DAVID CORSON
By CHARLES FREDERIC GOSS
A Mid-century American Novel
of Intense Power and Interest
_The Interior Says_:
"This is a book that is worth while. Though it tells of weakness
and wickedness, of love and license, of revenge and remorse in an
intensely interesting way, yet it is above all else a clean and pure
story. No one can read it and honestly ask 'what's the use.'"
_Newell Dwight Hillis, Pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, says_:
"'The Redemption of David Corson' strikes a strong, healthy buoyant
note."
_Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus, President Armour Institute, says_:
"Mr. Goss writes with the truthfulness of light. He has told a story
in which the fact of sin is illuminated with the utmost truthfulness
and the fact of redemption is portrayed with extraordinary power.
There are lines of greatness in the book which I shall never forget."
_President M. W. Stryker, Hamilton College, says_:
"It is a victory in writing for one whose head seems at last to have
matched his big human heart. There is ten times as much of reality in
it as there is in 'David Harum,' which does not value lightly that
admirable charcoal sketch."

"THE MERRIEST NOVEL OF MANY,
MANY MOONS."
MY LADY PEGGY
GOES TO TOWN
By FRANCES AYMAR MATHEWS
The Daintiest and Most Delightful Book
of the Season.
A heroine almost too charming to be true is Peggy, and it were a
churlish reader who is not, at the end of the first chapter, prostrate
before her red slippers.--_Washington Post._
To make a comparison would be to rank "My Lady Peggy" with "Monsieur
Beaucaire" in points of attraction, and to applaud as heartily as that
delicate romance, this picture of the days "When patches nestled o'er
sweet lips at chocolate times."--_N. Y. Mail and Express._
12 mo. Beautifully illustrated and bound.

"AS CRISP AND CLEAN CUT
AS A NEW MINTAGE."
THE
PUPPET CROWN
BY HAROLD MacGRATH
A princess rarely beautiful; a duchess magnificent and heartless; a
villain revengeful and courageous; a hero youthful, humorous, fearless
and truly American;--such are the principal characters of this
delightful story.--_Syracuse Post-Standard._
Harold MacGrath has attained the highest point achievable in recent
fiction. We have the climax of romance and adventure in "The Puppet
Crown."--_The Philadelphia North American._
Superior to most of the great successes.--_St. Paul Pioneer Press._
