Miss Reed's new novel is pre-eminently a love story, portraying a
true woman whose lot was cast, not in the drawing-room or in the
salon, but in the wilderness, where the only representatives of
civilization and culture were the rude fort and the true hearts that
garrisoned it. Beatrice is fascinating, possessing all the sweet
caprices of woman, with woman's strength in time of need, while the
hero is a man whose character must appeal to every true woman.
Fame for a Woman
or, Splendid Mourning. By CRANSTOUN METCALFE. With Frontispiece by
ADOLF THIEDE.
12o. (By mail, $1.35) net, $1.20
Madame de Staël wrote: "Fame is for women only a splendid mourning
for happiness"; Mr. Metcalfe tells us how a sweet little woman,
whose world is little bigger than her husband, loses that
perspective by contact with the superficially clever young literary
set in London. She is persuaded to write, and her writing is
attended with success, such as it is,--the sort of success which
means much figuring in "literary notes," interviews describing
the privacy of one's fireside, and pre-eminence among so-called
Bohemians.
