SOME LEADING FICTION.
EACH, 12MO, CLOTH, $1.00.
_YEKL._ A Tale of the New York Ghetto. By A. CAHAN.
“A new and striking tale; the charm, the verity, the literary quality of
the book depend upon its study of character, its ‘local color,’ its
revelation to Americans of a social state at their very doors of which
they have known nothing.”--_New York Times._
“The story is a revelation to us. It is written in a spirited, breezy
way, with an originality in the telling which is quite unexpected. The
dialect is striking in its truth to Nature.”--_Boston Courier._
_THE SENTIMENTAL SEX._ By GERTRUDE WARDEN.
“The cleverest book by a woman that has been published for months....
Such books as ‘The Sentimental Sex’ are exemplars of a modern cult that
will not be ignored.”--_New York Commercial Advertiser._
“The story forms an admirable study. The style is graphic, the plot
original, and cleverly wrought out.”--_Philadelphia Evening Bulletin._
