An exceedingly well written romance, dealing with the romantic period chronicled so admirably by Froissart. The scene is laid at a border castle between England and Scotland, the city of London, and on the French battle-fields of Cressy and Poitiers. Edward the Third, Queen Philippa, the Black Prince, Bertrand du Guesclin, are all historical characters, accurate reproductions of which give life and vitality to the romance. The character of the hero is especially well drawn. =The Making of a Saint.= By W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM. Illustrated by Gilbert James. Library 12mo, cloth decorative, 350 pages $1.50 "An exceedingly strong story of original motive and design.... The scenes are imbued with a spirit of frankness ... and in addition there is a strong dramatic flavor."――_Philadelphia Press._ "A sprightly tale abounding in adventures, and redolent of the spirit of mediæval Italy."――_Brooklyn Times._ =Friendship and Folly.= A NOVEL. By MARIA LOUISE POOL. Author of "Dally," "A Redbridge Neighborhood," "In a Dike Shanty," etc. Illustrated by J. W. Kennedy. Library 12mo, cloth decorative, 300 pages $1.25 "The author handles her elements with skilful fingers――fingers that feel their way most truthfully among the actual emotions and occurrences of nineteenth century romance. Hers is a frank, sensitive touch, and the result is both complete and full of interest."――_Boston Ideas._ "The story will rank with the best previous work of this author."――_Indianapolis News._ =The Rejuvenation of Miss Semaphore.= A FARCICAL NOVEL. By HAL GODFREY. Illustrated by Etheldred B. Barry. Library 12mo, cloth decorative, 300 pages $1.25 "A fanciful, laughable tale of two maiden sisters of uncertain age who are induced, by their natural longing for a return to youth and its blessings, to pay a large sum for a mystical water which possesses the value of setting backwards the hands of time. No more delightfully fresh and original book has appeared since 'Vice Versa' charmed an amused world. It is well written, drawn to the life, and full of the most enjoyable humor."――_Boston Beacon._ =The Paths of the Prudent.= By J. S. FLETCHER. Author of "When Charles I.
