At the beginning of the story, Virginia Hunter, a bright, breezy, frank-hearted “girl of the Golden West,” comes out of the Big Horn country of Wyoming to the old Bay State. Then “things begin,” when Virginia,—who feels the joyous, exhilarating call of the Big Horn wilderness and the outdoor life,—attempts to become acclimated and adopt good old New England “ways.” Few stories reveal a more attractive heroine, and the joyous spirit of youth and its happy adventures give the story an unusual charm. “The book has natural characters, fresh incidents, and a general atmosphere of sincerity and wholesome understanding of girl nature. Virginia may well become as popular as ‘Miss Billy’ or irresistible Anne.”—_New York Sun_. THE VIOLIN LADY A Sequel to “The Fiddling Girl” and “The Proving of Virginia” By Daisy Rhodes Campbell Frontispiece in full color from a painting by F. W. Read, and six black and white illustrations by John Goss, decorative jacket, net $1.25; carriage paid $1.40 This new story continues the adventures of the once little Fiddling Girl and tells of her triumphs and hardships abroad, of her friends, her love affairs, and finally of Virginia’s wedding bells and return to America. The previous two books in this series have been pronounced excellent and uplift stories, but “The Violin Lady” is far ahead of both in interest and charm. The press has commented on the author’s previous stories as follows: “A delightful story told in a charming manner. The Page Company does a real service indeed in the publication of so many of these excellent stories.”—_Zion’s Herald, Boston_. “A thoroughly enjoyable tale, written in a delightful vein of sympathetic comprehension.”—_Boston Herald_. MAN PROPOSES Or, The Romance of John Alden Shaw By Elliot H. Robinson 12mo, cloth decorative, with a frontispiece in full color and other illustrations by William Van Dresser, net $1.25; carriage paid $1.40 The story of John Alden Shaw is in many respects unique. Containing an enigma of an unusual nature, an odd legal tangle and a deep moral problem, the plot holds the reader’s attention to the very end. Quite as interesting as the major theme of the story are the minor incidents, for the greater part of the action occurs in gay Newport during “tennis week” and one somewhat unusual feature of the book is the introduction of several real and widely known characters—chiefly tennis stars of international reputation—and actual happenings, which give the tale peculiar realism. As the author is recognized as one of our leading writers on tennis, the scenes at the famous Casino during one of the national championships are particularly well drawn.
