Jean obediently adopted the attitude of the infant Samuel in the pictures. "God bless father and mother," said he, and the childish treble rang out queerly in the large, almost empty church. There was a span of silence and then all the women-folk fell on little Jean and that was the end of that wedding. THE END. * * * * * THE GLORY OF CLEMENTINA BY William J. Locke Author of "The Belovèd Vagabond," "Simon the Jester," etc. _Cloth_ _12mo_ _$1.30 net_ _Postage 12 cents_ Illustrations by Arthur I. Keller "Mr. Locke has succeeded in uniting with the firm carefulness of his early work the rapid, fluent, vibrating style that makes his later books so delightful; therefore it is easy to make the deduction that 'Clementina' is the best piece of work he has done."--_New York Evening Sun_ "Among the novels of the past five years no books have more consistently produced an effect at once certain, satisfactory and delightful than those of William J. Locke. This latest addition to his shelf is full of life and laughter and the love not only of man for woman but of man for man and for humanity. Mr. Locke is a born story-teller and a master of the art of expression."--_The Outlook_ "The book contains a mass of good material, with original characterization, and is written in a style piquant and clever."--_The Literary Digest_ "A story containing the essence of humanity, with an abundance of sensible and sensitive, casual and unobtrusive commentary upon life and man, and especially upon woman."--_Boston Evening Transcript_ "It contains even more of the popular qualities than are usually associated with the writings of this noted author."--_Boston Times_ "Mr. Locke's flights into the realms of fancy have been a delight to many readers. He has a lightness of touch that is entirely captivating, and his remarkable characterization of inconsequent people gives them a reality that is very insistent."--_Baltimore Evening Sun_ "Never has he drawn so deeply from that well that is the human heart; never so near those invisible heights which are the soul; and, if we are not altogether mistaken, 'The Glory of Clementina' will also prove to be that of its author."--_Baltimore News_ "A fascinating story with delicate, whimsical touches."--_Albany Times-Union_ "The book seems destined to live longer than any written by the author to date, because it is so sane and so fundamentally true."--_Philadelphia Enquirer_ JOHN LANE CO., NEW YORK MANALIVE BY Gilbert K.
