This novel follows "A Fortune at Stake," the first novel by Nat Gould
to be issued at the outset at 6_s_. The innovation was an immediate
success. The new tale, "A Gamble for Love," should undoubtedly win for
itself many admirers. The hero and heroine have strong dominating
personalities, and the love interest is well sustained. The element of
sport of course prevails, and the book may fairly be said to be as
thrilling as any Mr. Nat Gould has written.
+THE SECRET CALLING.+. By Olivia Ramsey, Author of "Callista in
Revolt," etc.
This is a love story of unusual charm dealing with the fortunes of two
girls. An artist falls in love with one; the other rejects the
brilliant marriage arranged for her by her worldly aunt. Each girl
seeks safety in flight. How both are finally won by the men who love
them is convincingly described by the author. In this book she again
displays her acknowledged skill as a clever novelist.
+THE SNAKE GARDEN.+ By Amy J. Baker, Author of "I Too Have Known," "The
Impenitent Prayer," etc.
As with her two previous successes the scene is laid in South Africa.
Miss Baker writes with a realism that is the outcome of personal
experience. Theo, the heroine, is an unusual type of girl, and how she
straightens out her life is told with rare humour and psychological
insight. The book is remarkable for its clear-cut pictures of Colonial
life.
+THE BELOVED PREMIER.+ By H. Maxwell, Author of "Mary in the Market,"
"The Paramount Shop," etc.
The author imagines what would happen in England were the authorities
to govern with absolute disinterestedness and singleness of purpose.
The picture thus drawn depicts a topsy-turvy world indeed. The story is
told with much humour and many shrewd thrusts at our most cherished
institutions. It is an unusual book replete with good things.
+THREE SUMMERS.+ By Victor L. Whitechurch, Author of "The Canon in
Residence," "Left in Charge," etc.
Here is a book that will appeal to all who love a good plot and plenty
of incident. It runs along fresh and sparkling and true to the end. The
hero and heroine are cleverly depicted in this charming romance, which
teems with lovable characters. It is a novel which enhances the
reputation of this popular author.
+THE RESIDENCY.+ By Henry Bruce, Author of "The Eurasian," "The Native
Wife," etc.
The previous novels by Henry Bruce have secured for him an appreciative
following. Like its predecessors, "The Residency" is a story of life in
India. The heroine is a beautiful Eurasian who, after twenty-two years
of sheltered life in England, rashly returns to India. The novel is an
account of the passionate attachment she forms for a Native of rank.
Mr. Bruce has a power of humour all too rare in these days. He tells
the narrative in a masterly way.
+PAUL MOORHOUSE.+ By George Wouil, Author of "Sowing Clover."
