The Prisoner of Mademoiselle
With frontispiece by Frank T. Merrill.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, gilt top $1.50
A tale of Acadia,--a land which is the author’s heart’s delight,--of a
valiant young lieutenant and a winsome maiden, who first captures and
then captivates.
“This is the kind of a story that makes one grow younger, more innocent,
more light-hearted. Its literary quality is impeccable. It is not every
day that such a heroine blossoms into even temporary existence, and the
very name of the story bears a breath of charm.”--_Chicago

WORKS OF LILIAN BELL
Hope Loring
Illustrated by Frank T. Merrill.
Library 12mo, cloth, decorative cover $1.50
“Lilian Bell’s new novel, ‘Hope Loring,’ does for the American girl in
fiction what Gibson has done for her in art.
“Tall, slender, and athletic, fragile-looking, yet with nerves and
sinews of steel under the velvet flesh, frank as a boy and tender and
beautiful as a woman, free and independent, yet not bold--such is ‘Hope
Loring,’ by long odds the subtlest study that has yet been made of the
American girl.”--_Dorothy Dix, in the New York American._
Abroad with the Jimmies
With a portrait, in duogravure, of the author.
Library 12mo, cloth, decorative cover $1.50
