An engrossing story of a woman’s way through the third decade of her life—and of the various men with whom she comes in contact. Ben Donahue, a fellow mill-worker in a small New England town; Marcus Beeman, the salesman who takes her to New York; Frank Kelly, the famous horse-trainer with whom she sees Saratoga, Paris, London and Dublin; Baron Georges Iverskoi of Russia, whose companion she is in Biarritz, Monte-Carlo, Aix, Trouville, Rome, Ostende and other places; Captain Cecil Cope-Herrington; Senor Delvajo, the Spanish painter; Richard Dangerfield, the American sculptor, whose career her love unwittingly ruins—these are but a few of the characters that are intimately pictured in these pages. “The Primal Law” presents a rare panorama of the cosmopolitan life that the European War has now brought abruptly to an end. And withal, it is a book written with a serious underlying motive. _$1.35_ The World of H. G. Wells By Van Wyck Brooks Certainly no writer has of late been more in the public eye than H. G. Wells. It is high time, therefore, that a complete and trenchant study of his work and personality in all their various phases should be published. And that is just what Mr. Brooks has written. To his task he has brought rare gifts of analysis and synthesis, together with no little charm. The result is a book which will be welcomed as one of the most informative and interesting in critical literature. A clear understanding of H. G. Wells is imperative for all thoughtful men and women, and no more appropriate time than the present could be found for issuing a book that fully satisfies that need. _$1.25_ MITCHELL KENNERLEY’S RAILROAD NOVELS Most people when they are traveling like to read—nothing heavy or too serious—but a good yarn that will amuse and interest them. To supply just this want I have started my series of “Railroad Novels.” Each volume is a rattling tale, well told, and the books are printed in large type on light paper, and bound in limp cloth. They will fit most pockets, and weigh very little. They are uniform in appearance and price. Can a Man Be True? By WINIFRED GRAHAM A good old-fashioned tale of adventure and intrigue, which in some ways recalls “The Prisoner of Zenda,” and the romances of the great Dumas. The sort of story that is passing now, but which every one enjoys once in a while. No sex, no problem, but lots of plot and counterplot and excitement. A book that may be read and enjoyed by every member of the family. _$1.00_ MITCHELL KENNERLEY PUBLISHER NEW YORK Books By Havelock Ellis
