WORKS OF ROBERT W. CHAMBERS. * * * * * IOLE. Color inlay on the cover and many full-page illustrations, borders, thumbnail sketches, etc., by J.C. Leyendecker, Arthur Becher, and Karl Anderson. $1.25. The story of eight pretty girls and their fat poetical father, an apostle of art "dead stuck on Nature and simplicity." "'Iole' is unquestionably a classic."--_San Francisco Bulletin_. "Mr. Chambers is a benefactor to the human race."--_Seattle Post-Intelligencer_. "Quite the most amusing and delectable bit of nonsense that has come to light for a long time."--_Life_. "One of the most alluring books of the season."--_Louisville Courier-Journal_. "The joyous abounding charm of 'Iole' is indescribable. It is for you to read. 'Iole' is guaranteed to drive away the blues."--_New York Press_. "Mr. Chambers has never shown himself more brilliant and more imaginative than in this little satirical idyllic comedy."--_Kansas City Star_. "A fresh proof of Mr. Chambers' amazing versatility."--_Everybody's Magazine_. "As delicious a satire as one could want to read."--_Pittsburg Chronicle_. "It is an achievement to write a genuinely funny book and another to write a truly instructive book; but it is the greatest of achievements to write a book that is both. This Mr. Chambers has done in 'Iole.'"--_Washington Star_. "Amid the outpour of the insipid 'Iole' comes as June sunshine. The author of 'Cardigan' shows a fine touch and rarer pigments as the number of his canvases grows. 'Iole' is a literary achievement which must always stand in the foremost of its class."--_Chicago Evening Post_. * * * * * D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, NEW YORK. * * * * * By DAVID GRAHAM PHILLIPS. * * * * * The Second Generation. Illustrated. Cloth, $1.50. "The Second Generation" is a double-decked romance in one volume, telling the two love-stories of a young American and his sister, reared in luxury and suddenly left without means by their father, who felt that money was proving their ruination and disinherited them for their own sakes. Their struggle for life, love and happiness makes a powerful love-story of the middle West. "The book equals the best of the great story tellers of all time."--_Cleveland Plain Dealer_. "'The Second Generation,' by David Graham Phillips, is not only the most important novel of the new year, but it is one of the most important ones of a number of years past."--_Philadelphia Inquirer_. "_A_ thoroughly American book is 'The Second Generation.'. . . The characters are drawn with force and discrimination."--_St. Louis Globe Democrat_.
