In _Nathan Burke_ Mrs. Watts told with great power the story of a man. In this, her new book, she does much the same thing for a woman. Jennie Cushing is an exceedingly interesting character, perhaps the most interesting of any that Mrs. Watts has yet given us. The novel is her life and little else, but it is a life filled with a variety of experiences and touching closely many different strata of humankind. Throughout it all, from the days when as a thirteen-year-old, homeless, friendless waif, Jennie is sent to a reformatory, to the days when her beauty is the inspiration of a successful painter, there is in the narrative an appeal to the emotions, to the sympathy, to the affections, that cannot be gainsaid. 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 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. PUBLISHED BY THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York NEW MACMILLAN FICTION Thracian Sea A Novel by JOHN HELSTON, Author of “Aphrodite,” etc. _With frontispiece in colors. Decorated cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._ Probably no author to-day has written more powerfully or frankly on the conventions of modern society than John Helston, who, however, has hitherto confined himself to the medium of verse. In this novel, the theme of which occasionally touches upon the same problems—problems involving love, freedom of expression, the right to live one’s life in one’s own way—he is revealed to be no less a master of the prose form than of the poetical. While the book is one for mature minds, the skill with which delicate situations are handled and the reserve everywhere exhibited remove it from possible criticism even by the most exacting. The title, it should be explained, refers to a spirited race horse with the fortunes of which the lives of two of the leading characters are bound up.
