By MYRTLE REED, author of "Love Letters of a Musician," "The Spinster
Book," etc.

Full Crimson Morocco net, $2.00
Miss Reed has carried her lively style and charming humor from
letters and essays into the field of fiction. This is the story of
a quaint corner of New England where more than one romance lies
hidden underneath the prim garb of a little village.
The Earth and the Fullness Thereof
A Tale of Styria. By PETER ROSEGGER, author of "The Forest
Schoolmaster," "The God Seeker," etc. Authorized English Version
by FRANCES E. SKINNER.
12° $1.50
There is, throughout, that same sweet recognition of the beautiful
in life, even where human existence is the most squalid, that gave
a wonderful quality to "The Forest Schoolmaster." And there is
a true pleasure in the story's happy conclusion that is born of
no playwriter's trick, but of a sense of the eternal justice of
things.
