"There is a fine humor in the book, some good revelation of character and plenty of romance of the most unusual order."--_The Philadelphia Inquirer._ "There is something altogether fascinating about 'Miss Billy,' some inexplicable feminine characteristic that seems to demand the individual attention of the reader from the moment we open the book until we reluctantly turn the last page."--_Boston Transcript._ "The book is a wholesome story, as fresh in tone as it is graceful in expression, and one may predict for it a wide audience."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger._ "Miss Billy is so carefree, so original and charming, that she lives in the reader's memory long after the book has been laid aside."--_Boston Globe._ "You cannot help but love dear 'Billy;' she is winsome and attractive and you will be only too glad to introduce her to your friends."--_Brooklyn Eagle._ * * * * * THE CAREER OF DR. WEAVER _By Mrs. Henry W. Backus_ _12mo, cloth decorative, illustrated, net $1.25; postpaid $1.40_ A big and purposeful story interwoven about the responsibilities and problems in the medical profession of the present day. Dr. Weaver, a noted specialist, and head of a private hospital, had allowed himself to drift away from the standards of his youth in his desire for wealth and social and scientific prestige. When an exposé of the methods employed by him in furthering his schemes for the glorifying of the name of "Weaver" in the medical world is threatened, it is frustrated through the efforts of the famous doctor's younger brother, Dr. Jim. The story is powerful and compelling, even if it uncovers the problems and temptations of a physician's career. Perhaps the most important character, not even excepting Dr. Weaver and Dr. Jim, is "The Girl," who plays such an important part in the lives of both men. "The story becomes one of those absorbing tales of to-day which the reader literally devours in an evening, unwilling to leave the book until the last page is reached, and constantly alert, through the skill of the author, in following the characters through the twisted ways of their career."--_Boston Journal._ "The story is well-written, unique, quite out of the usual order, and is most captivating."--_Christian Intelligencer._ * * * * * THE HILL OF VENUS _By Nathan Gallizier_ Author of "Castel del Monte," "The Sorceress of Rome," "The Court of Lucifer," etc. _12mo, cloth decorative, with four illustrations in color, net $1.35; postpaid $1.50_
