This is a story in which love and intrigue are the two disturbing
elements. Miss Marryat is well-known to the readers of sentimental

=_14. Miss Kate, or the Confessions of a Caretaker_=--By Rita
This is a novel of much interest in the first part, of the objectionable
"guilty love" order in the latter half. There are some beautiful bits of
character drawing in it, and some very clever hits at American foibles.
This story is exceedingly well told.--_Nashville American._

=_15. A Vagabond Lover_=--By Rita
Is a mere sketch. The hero having been a child who was washed on shore
from a shipwreck during a storm, and found by a man who believed that he
had discovered the cause and generation of life. The child was made a
subject for experiment; life was breathed into it, but only physical
life and not its higher principle. The result is that the child grows up
to manhood without one redeeming virtue, and seems to delight in doing
all manner of evil.--_Philadelphia Record._

=_39. Sylvia Arden_=--By Oswald Crawfurd
Is a novel whose story is supposed to be told by a man who confesses at
the outset that life has been with him a failure. He has been successful
in nothing though trying everything--and the novel deals with the most
remarkable incidents in that sort of a career. It is a cleverly done
book, and there is much in it which is fresh as well as
exciting.--_Columbus, O., Journal._

=_40. Young Mr. Ainslie's Courtship_=--By F. C. Philips
It seems impossible for F. C. Philips, the author of "As in a Looking
Glass," to keep sensational tragedy out of his novels. In "Young Mr.
Ainslie's Courtship" he has written a story which is charming, witty?
and agreeable up to the very last chapter.--_San Francisco Chronicle._

Journal._
