The Doctor's Christmas Eve _Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"Kentucky in its rural aspects and with its noble men and women forms
the scenery for this romance of quaintness and homeliness which
lovingly interprets the career of a country doctor who has lost faith
in life but not in ideals. Incidentally the author has interpreted
the new spirit of American childhood in its relation to the miracles
and legends and lore of other lands and older times, which have
through the centuries gathered about the great Christmas festival of
the Nativity."--_New York Times._
"What so many have so long hoped Mr. Allen would do he has
accomplished in this work, namely, a description of Kentucky and the
bluegrass farms as seen by a youngster."--_New York American._
MARY S. WATTS'
Nathan Burke _Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"It is sometimes said that one of the best tests of a good novel, as
it is of a well-planned meal, is how you feel at the end. Are you
satisfied or do you wish that at some time the performance may be
repeated? When one is through with 'Nathan Burke,' one thinks, I'd
like to read it right over again."--_Columbia Dispatch._
WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE'S
A Certain Rich Man _Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"This novel has a message for to-day, and for its brilliant character
drawing, and that gossipy desultory style of writing that stamps
Mr. White's literary work, will earn a high place in fiction. It is
good and clean and provides a vacation from the cares of the hour.
It resembles a Chinese play, because it begins with the hero's
boyhood, describes his long, busy life, and ends with his death.
Its tone is often religious, never flippant, and one of its best
assets is its glowing descriptions of the calm, serene beauties of
nature. Its moral is that a magnate never did any real good with
money."--_Oregonian_, Portland, Ore.
Mr. OWEN WISTER'S NOVELS
Members of the Family
_Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net_
"Thrilling and unusual tales of life on the Western prairies.
Mr. Wister has shown himself a master in this class of
fiction."--_Critic._
The Virginian
_Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.50 net_
"The vanished West is made to live again by Owen Wister in a manner
which makes his book easily the best that deals with the cowboy and
the cattle country.... It is picturesque, racy, and above all it is
original."--_The Philadelphia Press._
Lady Baltimore
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"After cowboy stories innumerable, 'the Virginian' came as the last
and definite word on that romantic subject in our fiction. 'Lady
Baltimore' will serve in much the same way as the most subtly drawn
picture of the old-world dignity of the vanished South."--_The New
York Evening Mail._
