These reminiscences form the record of the intimate life of the
Princess Arnulf and her royal relatives. Not for many years has a work
of such extraordinary interest been given to the reading public. It is
the mart of news, of scandal, of rumour, of intrigue, of a galaxy of
princes, courtiers, men and women of rank and fashion, of sullied
virtue and invidious attachments.
+WHY SHE LEFT HIM.+ By Florence Warden, Author of "Love's Sentinel,"
etc.
Miss Warden's gypsy heroine forms a very interesting study. It would be
unfair to explain the plot of the story, but behind it is tragedy. The
hero, Lord Tregaron, is a well-drawn personage, and so, indeed, are the
other characters clustered around the charming heroine.
+THE MAZE.+ By A. L. Stewart.
"The Maze" is the love story of a famous operatic singer who marries
her protégé, a violinist considerably younger than herself. As is
inevitable, their gifts clash and jealousy ensues. The plot is cleverly
unfolded, and the book reaches a satisfactory conclusion. The scene is
laid in London, Paris, and the West of England.
+THE OYSTER.+ By a Peer, Author of "The Hard Way," "The Decoy Duck,"
etc.
The Novels of a Peer are distinguished among present-day fiction by
their brilliant literary qualities and their deep emotional appeal to
human hearts and sympathies. They are addressed to men and women who
know the world and the significance of life: their keynote is strength.
The _motif_ of this enthralling story is centred upon the maternal
instinct--the profoundest of all human feelings. An idea of consummate
originality is presented in a manner free from reproach or any
suspicion of pruriency.
+A MILLION FOR A SOUL.+ By Mrs. C. E. Phillimore, Author of "Two Women
and a Maharajah."
An Irish patriot bequeaths to his child, as her sole inheritance, his
love for drink. She marries in India and through constant strain
succumbs to the degrading habit. Cast off by her husband, her lover
seeks to regain her and effect her regeneration. The story ends with
this achieved, though the manner of its accomplishment is by way of the
unexpected.
+THE WHITE VAMPIRE.+ By A. M. Judd, Author of "Lot's Wife," etc.
This is a powerful story of love, hate, revolution, and revenge, woven
around the central figure of a beautiful, fascinating, unscrupulous
woman who lures men to ruin and then dooms them to a horrible fate.
Retribution overtakes her at last through the love of one of her
victims. The book contains many thrilling episodes, and the ending is
highly dramatic.
+LAW THE WRECKER.+ By Charles Igglesden, Author of "Clouds," etc.
