BARBARA WINSLOW, REBEL. By Elizabeth Ellis With illustrations by John Rae, and colored inlay cover.
The following, taken from story, will best describe the heroine: A TOAST: “To the bravest comrade in misfortune, the sweetest companion in peace and at all times the most courageous of women.”—Barbara Winslow. “A romantic story, buoyant, eventful, and in matters of love exactly what the heart could desire.”—New York Sun.
SUSAN. By Ernest Oldmeadow With a color frontispiece by Frank Haviland. Medallion in color on front cover.
Lord Ruddington falls helplessly in love with Miss Langley, whom he sees in one of her walks accompanied by her maid, Susan. Through a misapprehension of personalities his lordship addresses a love missive to the maid. Susan accepts in perfect good faith, and an epistolary love-making goes on till they are disillusioned. It naturally makes a droll and delightful little comedy; and is a story that is particularly clever in the telling.
WHEN PATTY WENT TO COLLEGE. By Jean Webster With illustrations by C. D. Williams.
“The book is a treasure.”—Chicago Daily News. “Bright, whimsical, and thoroughly entertaining.”—Buffalo Express. “One of the best stories of life in a girl’s college that has ever been written.”—N.Y. Press. “To any woman who has enjoyed the pleasures of a college life this book cannot fail to bring back many sweet recollections; and to those who have not been to college the wit, lightness, and charm of Patty are sure to be no less delightful.”—Public Opinion.
THE MASQUERADER. By Katherine Cecil Thurston With illustrations by Clarence F. Underwood.
“You can’t drop it till you have turned the last page.”—Cleveland Leader. “Its very audacity of motive, of execution, of solution, almost takes one’s breath away. The boldness of its denouement is sublime.”—Boston Transcript. “The literary hit of a generation. The best of it is the story deserves all its success. A masterly story.”—St. Louis Dispatch. “The story is ingeniously told, and cleverly constructed.”—The Dial.
THE GAMBLER. By Katherine Cecil Thurston With illustrations by John Campbell.
“Tells of a high strung young Irish woman who has a passion for gambling, inherited from a long line of sporting ancestors. She has a high sense of honor, too, and that causes complications. She is a very human, lovable character, and love saves her.”—N.Y. Times.
