AT THE SIGN OF THE VAN. By Michael Monahan, author of
"Adventures in Life and Letters," etc.
$2.00 net.
Michael Monohan, founder of that fascinating little magazine,
"The Papyrus," is one of the most brilliant of present-day
American critics. He has abundant sympathy, insight, critical
acumen, and, above all, real flavor. His essays are all his own.
And into this Volume he has put much of his own life story. Then
there is a remarkable chapter on "Sex in the Playhouse," besides
papers on Roosevelt, O. Henry, Carlyle, Renan, Tolstoy, and
Arthur Brisbane, to mention but a few. "At the Sign of the Van"
is really a second, larger, and even finer book than "Adventures
in Life and Letters."

FOR SUMMER READING
NEW MEN FOR OLD. By Howard Vincent O'Brien.
$1.25 net.
One of the finest first novels of many seasons. A book too that
for verity, passion and sincerity can bear comparison with the
best that America has produced.
But make no mistake--this is a good story as well. A young
fellow, son of a wealthy Chicagoan, passes his time in Paris in
luxurious idleness. He is called home at his father's death.
Instead of receiving a fortune he finds himself penniless.
That's the situation that faces Harlan Chandos at the opening of
"New Men for Old," the book tells the rest of the story.
GREAT DAYS. By Frank Harris, author of "The Man Shakespeare,"
"The Bomb," etc.
$1.35 net.
There is nothing of the problem-novel about this newest book by
Frank Harris. It is just a red-blooded gripping yarn. And when it
comes to holding your interest in the tale he tells, it is
doubtful if any living writer has Mr. Harris' mastery. "Great
Days" is set in the time of Napoleon--there are smugglers and
privateers and fighting and--by no means least--love. Bonaparte
is etched strikingly and vividly, and so is Charles Fox.
Emphatically a book for the Spring and Summer months.
WHEN LOVE FLIES OUT O' THE WINDOW. By Leonard Merrick.
$1.20 net.
This, the latest of Leonard Merrick's novels to be published in
America, is a brilliant story of theatrical life. The scene
shifts rapidly from London to Paris, back again to London and
finally to New York. It's a very human tale and Meenie Weston and
Ralph Lingham with their ups and downs, their miseries and their
joys (but chiefly joys) will give every reader many hours of
pleasant entertainment.
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. By William Samuel Johnson, author of
"Glamourie." 12mo.
