NEW MACMILLAN FICTION
Saturday’s Child
By KATHLEEN NORRIS, Author of “Mother,” “The Treasure,” etc.
_With frontispiece in colors, by F. Graham Cootes._
_Decorated cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._
“_Friday’s child is loving and giving,
Saturday’s child must work for her living._”
The title of Mrs. Norris’s new novel at once indicates its theme.
It is the life story of a girl who has her own way to make in the
world. The various experiences through which she passes, the
various viewpoints which she holds until she comes finally to
realize that service for others is the only thing that counts, are
told with that same intimate knowledge of character, that healthy
optimism and the belief in the ultimate goodness of mankind that
have distinguished all of this author’s writing. The book is
intensely alive with human emotions. The reader is bound to
sympathize with Mrs. Norris’s people because they seem like _real_
people and because they are actuated by motives which one is able
to understand. _Saturday’s Child_ is Mrs. Norris’s longest work.
Into it has gone the very best of her creative talent. It is a
volume which the many admirers of _Mother_ will gladly accept.
Neighborhood Stories
By ZONA GALE, Author of “Friendship Village,” “The Love of Pelleas
and Etarre,” etc.
_With frontispiece. Decorated cloth, 12mo. boxed. $1.50 net._
In _Neighborhood Stories_ Miss Gale has a book after her own heart,
a book which, with its intimate stories of real folks, is not
unlike _Friendship Village_. Miss Gale has humor; she has lightness
of touch; she has, above all, a keen appreciation of human nature.
These qualities are reflected in the new volume. Miss Gale’s
audience, moreover, is a constantly increasing one. To it her
beautiful little holiday novel, _Christmas_, added many admirers.
_Neighborhood Stories_ will not only keep these, but is certain to
attract many more as well.
