Her burnished hair was like an aureole about her, and in her eyes was the fire of victory. Mate for a man she was in that exalted moment, when she leaned toward him with her lips parted and her soul aflame with high resolve. The eastern heavens illumined with a flood of white light that seemed like a challenge. "Once more, sweetheart--will you come?" She smiled and her sweet lips trembled as if already she felt his kiss, then clear and strong as the note of a silver trumpet came the girl's triumphant answer. "Yes," she cried, "I will!"

Miss Reed is delightfully witty, delightfully humorous, delightfully cynical, delightfully sane, and, above all, delightfully spontaneous. The pages sparkle with bright, clear wit; they bubble with honest, hearty humor; they contain many stings but no savage thrusts....

Gilt top each, $1.75 Full crimson morocco, in a box " 2.50 "Miss Reed's books are exquisite prose poems--words strung on thought-threads of gold--in which a musician tells his love for one whom he has found to be his ideal. The idea is not new, but the opinion is ventured that nowhere has it been one-half so well carried out. The ecstacy of hope, the apathy of despair, alternate in these enchanting letters, without one line of cynicism to mar the beauty of their effect."--_Rochester Herald_. G. P.
