WINGS _by Ethel M. Kelley_
Does genius, brilliancy confer upon a man the right to use the lives of
lesser people in the making of his success? _WINGS_ is the “inside
story” of the career of a brilliant editor, of the women from whose love
he built his ladder to eminence. Miss Kelley gives us a remarkably vivid
picture of New York’s intellectual set.
THE TIDE _by Mildred Cram_
A novel of our materialistic young people. Mildred Cram has a true
perspective on fashionable New York. Lilah Peabody, the heroine, marries
wealth and position in the firm belief that those two elements added
make happiness and when they do not satisfy her, she takes her own way
out. She is gallant, this Lilah, a charming schemer. A real person and
an interesting one.

THREE PILGRIMS AND A TINKER _by Mary Borden_
_author of_ JANE—OUR STRANGER, _etc._
The success of Jane—Our Stranger in England and America has won for Mary
Borden a large and well deserved American audience. This new novel is a
story of that part of England that lives to hunt, where women speak with
a marvellous gentleness to their horses and brusquely to their
children,—and men never speak at all. It is as finely original and
artistic a piece of work as we have come to expect from her.
