+CALLISTA IN REVOLT.+ By Olivia Ramsey, Author of "A Girl of No
Importance," etc.
This dainty love-story is told with great charm and skill. A beautiful
girl is forced, through adverse circumstances, to lead a monotonous
existence in an isolated village. It is here that she is discovered by
the wealthy Bruce Armadale, whose force of character is powerfully
drawn. A dazzling dancer of London fame is introduced as a dangerous
rival for his affection, and her plot to separate the lovers is
convincingly told.
+THE RANSOM FOR LONDON.+ By J. S. Fletcher, Author of "The Bartenstein
Case," etc.
This is one of the most enthralling conceptions that has yet appeared
in realistic fiction. From the advent of the stranger at the week-end
retreat of the Prime Minister, with his demand for ten millions
sterling as the ransom for London, right through to the end, the
narrative compels attention. Mr. Fletcher has in this story surpassed
himself.
+ANGELS IN WALES.+ By Margam Jones, Author of "The Stars of the
Revival," etc.
A tale of Welsh life in the last century, describing faithfully and
vividly, in the glow of a sympathetic imagination, the joys and sorrows
of the Celtic soul, and having for its central theme the all-important
problem of true life. Here the lover of fiction will be continually
charmed by a mysterious revelation of hidden life clothed in a new
dress of spiritual psychology.
+THE PRICE OF CONQUEST.+ By Ellen Ada Smith, Author of "The Only
Prison," etc.
The story has its setting partly in the west country and partly amidst
the changes and chances of London musical life. As a risen Star,
Sigismund Wirth is happy as only the successful can be. How at last his
weakness is discovered and his final victory over self achieved is
shown in this clever novel.
+FAITH AND UNFAITH.+ By James Blyth, Author of "Rubina," "Amazement,"
etc.
This novel is the study of a woman's love. The theme is developed with
the certainty of touch and the clearness of vision which are the gifts
of experience in life and art. It is as engrossing as the author's
previous works, and a notable addition to his gallery of brilliant pen
portraits of beautiful, frail women.
+THE RED WEDDING.+ By E. Scott Gillies, Author of "A Spark on Steel,"
etc.
The novel deals with one of the stormiest periods of history and of the
fierce feud between two Highland Clans, each so powerful that Queen
Elizabeth sought to gain their friendship for England against the
Scottish Sovereign, James IV. It is a story of love and jealousy and
the gradual success of the true lover in the face of all obstacles.
+ENVIRONMENT.+ By Mrs. A. M. Floyer.
The story illustrates the influence of environment upon character. The
plot consists of episodes, amatory, humorous and otherwise, in the
lives of people who are not always in their proper element. It should
appeal to all who like something out of the beaten track.
