The Story of Duciehurst: A Tale of the Mississippi
Craddock, Charles Egbert
Mississippi River -- Fiction
In the course of its review of _The Storm Centre_, the Louisville
Courier-Journal says: “This beautiful novel by Charles Egbert
Craddock shows the brilliant and popular writer in her best vein.
None of Miss Murfree’s later books possesses more interest than
this story of love and war and life. The war scenes, the guiding
motives of the opposed sides, the pictures of the old Southern
household, are strikingly impressive by the nobility and the
breadth of their portrayal. The book is one to be held in high
favor long after many of to-day’s ‘best sellers’ are forgotten.”

The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman
By H. G. WELLS.
_Cloth, 12mo. $1.50 net._
The name of H. G. Wells upon a title page is an assurance of merit. It
is a guarantee that on the pages which follow will be found an absorbing
story told with master skill. In the present book Mr. Wells surpasses
even his previous efforts. He is writing of modern society life,
particularly of one very charming young woman, Lady Harman, who finds
herself so bound in by conventions, so hampered by restrictions, largely
those of a well intentioned but short sighted husband, that she is
ultimately moved to revolt. The real meaning of this revolt, its effect
upon her life and those of her associates are narrated by one who goes
beneath the surface in his analysis of human motives. In the group of
characters, writers, suffragists, labor organizers, social workers and
society lights surrounding Lady Harman, and in the dramatic incidents
which compose the years of her existence which are described by Mr.
Wells, there is a novel which is significant in its interpretation of
the trend of affairs to-day, and fascinatingly interesting as fiction.
It is Mr. Wells at his best.
