“The most marvellous work of its wonderful author.”--_New York World._ “We touch regions and attain altitudes which it is not given to the ordinary novelist even to approach.”--_London Times._ “In no other story has Mrs. Ward approached the brilliancy and vivacity of Lady Rose’s Daughter.”--_North American Review._ THE BANKER AND THE BEAR. By Henry K. Webster. “An exciting and absorbing story.”--_New York Times._ “Intensely thrilling in parts, but an unusually good story all through. There is a love affair of real charm and most novel surroundings, there is a run on the bank which is almost worth a year’s growth, and there is all manner of exhilarating men and deeds which should bring the book into high and permanent favor.”--_Chicago Evening Post._ BARBARA WINSLOW, REBEL. By Elizabeth Ellis. With illustrations by John Rae, and colored inlay cover. The following, taken from story, will best describe the heroine: A TOAST: “To the bravest comrade in misfortune, the sweetest companion in peace and at all times the most courageous of women.”--_Barbara Winslow._ “A romantic story, buoyant, eventful, and in matters of love exactly what the heart could desire.”--_New York Sun._ SUSAN. By Ernest Oldmeadow. With a color frontispiece by Frank Haviland. Medalion in color on front cover. Lord Ruddington falls helplessly in love with Miss Langley, whom he sees in one of her walks accompanied by her maid, Susan. Through a misapprehension of personalities his lordship addresses a love missive to the maid. Susan accepts in perfect good faith, and an epistolary love-making goes on till they are disillusioned. It naturally makes a droll and delightful little comedy; and is a story that is particularly clever in the telling. WHEN PATTY WENT TO COLLEGE. By Jean Webster. With illustrations by C. D. Williams. “The book is a treasure.”--_Chicago Daily News._ “Bright, whimsical, and thoroughly entertaining.”--_Buffalo Express._ “One of the best stories of life in a girl’s college that has ever been written.”--_N. Y. Press._ “To any woman who has enjoyed the pleasures of a college life this book cannot fail to bring back many sweet recollections; and to those who have not been to college the wit, lightness, and charm of Patty are sure to be no less delightful.”--_Public Opinion._ THE MASQUERADER. By Katherine Cecil Thurston. With illustrations by Clarence F. Underwood. “You can’t drop it till you have turned the last page.”--_Cleveland Leader._ “Its very audacity of motive, of execution, of solution, almost takes one’s breath away. The boldness of its denouement is sublime.”--_Boston Transcript._ “The literary hit of a generation. The best of it is the story deserves all its success. A masterly story.”--_St. Louis Dispatch._ “The story is ingeniously told, and cleverly constructed.”--_The Dial._ THE GAMBLER. By Katherine Cecil Thurston. With illustrations by John Campbell.
