There is also “a woman in the case,” Margaret Laurie, who proves a delightful, reliant, and audacious heroine. * * * * * Miss Frances Baird, Detective By REGINALD WRIGHT KAUFFMAN, author of “Jarvis of Harvard,” etc. Library 12mo, cloth decorative $1.25 A double robbery and a murder have given Mr. Kauffman the material for his clever detective story. Miss Baird tells how she finally solved the mystery, and how she outwitted the other detective at work on the case, by her woman’s intuition and sympathy, when her reputation for keenness and efficiency was hanging in the balance. The Idlers By MORLEY ROBERTS, author of “Rachel Marr,” “Lady Penelope,” etc. With frontispiece in colour by John C. Frohn $1.50 The _London Literary World_ says: “In ‘The Idlers’ Mr. Morley Roberts does for the smart set of London what Mrs. Wharton has done in ‘The House of Mirth’ for the American social class of the same name. His primary object seems to be realism, the portrayal of life as it is without exaggeration, and we were impressed by the reserve displayed by the novelist. It is a powerful novel, a merciless dissection of modern society similar to that which a skilful surgeon would make of a pathological case.” The _New York Sun_ says: “_It is as absorbing as the devil._ Mr. Roberts gives us the antithesis of ‘Rachel Marr’ in an equally masterful and convincing work.” _Professor Charles G. D. Roberts_ says: “It is a work of great ethical force.” Stand Pat OR, POKER STORIES FROM BROWNVILLE. By DAVID A. CURTIS, author of “Queer Luck,” etc. With six drawings by Henry Roth $1.50 Mr. Curtis is the poker expert of the _New York Sun_, and many of the stories in “Stand Pat” originally appeared in the _Sun_. Although in a sense short stories, they have a thread of continuity, in that the principal characters appear throughout. Every poker player will enjoy Mr. Curtis’s clever recital of the strange luck to which Dame Fortune sometimes treats her devotees in the uncertain game of draw poker, and will appreciate the startling coups by which she is occasionally outwitted. * * * * * The Count at Harvard BEING AN ACCOUNT OF THE ADVENTURES OF A YOUNG GENTLEMAN OF FASHION AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY. By RUPERT SARGENT HOLLAND.
