A NEW NOTE IN FICTION
THE STROLLERS
By FREDERIC S. ISHAM
"The Strollers" is a novel of much merit.
The scenes are laid in that picturesque and interesting period of
American life--the last of the stage coach days--the days of the
strolling player.
The author, Frederic S. Isham, gives a delightful and accurate account
of a troop of players making a circuit in the wilderness from New York
to New Orleans, travelling by stage, carrying one wagon load of scenery,
playing in town halls, taverns, barns or whatnot.
"The Strollers" is a new note in fiction.

"NOTHING BUT PRAISE"
LAZARRE
By MARY HARTWELL CATHERWOOD
Glorified by a beautiful love story.--_Chicago Tribune._
We feel quite justified in predicting a wide-spread and prolonged
popularity for this latest comer into the ranks of historical
fiction.--_The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser._
After all the material for the story had been collected a year was
required for the writing of it. It is an historical romance of the
better sort, with stirring situations, good bits of character drawing
and a satisfactory knowledge of the tone and atmosphere of the period
involved.--_N. Y. Herald._
Lazarre, is no less a person than the Dauphin, Louis XVII. of France,
and a right royal hero he makes. A prince who, for the sake of his lady,
scorns perils in two hemispheres, facing the wrath of kings in Europe
and the bullets of savages in America; who at the last spurns a kingdom
that he may wed her freely--here is one to redeem the sins of even those
who "never learn and never forget."--_Philadelphia North American._

"THE MERRIEST NOVEL OF MANY, MANY MOONS"
MY LADY PEGGY GOES TO TOWN
By FRANCES AYMAR MATHEWS
The Daintiest and Most Delightful Book of the Season.
A heroine almost too charming to be true is Peggy, and it were a
churlish reader who is not, at the end of the first chapter, prostrate
before her red slippers.--_Washington Post._
To make a comparison would be to rank "My Lady Peggy" with "Monsieur
Beaucaire" in points of attraction, and to applaud as heartily as that
delicate romance, this picture of the days "When patches nestled o'er
sweet lips at chocolate times."--_N. Y. Mail and Express._
12 mo. Beautifully illustrated and bound.
Price, $1.25 net
