The Archbishop and the Lady
By Mrs. Schuyler Crowninshield
A story of modern society which only a writer of very wide and very exceptional social experience could have written. It is cosmopolitan, yet full of romance; modern, yet informed with a delicate old-world charm. The characters are put before us with a consummate knowledge of the world and a penetrating insight into human nature.
Cloth. 12mo; 5⅛ × 7¾. About $1.50.
April’s Sowing
By GERTRUDE HALL
Miss Gertrude Hall is known to the world as a poet and as a teller of tales, but with her first novel she reveals new gifts, for it is a modern story tuned to a note of light comedy that she has never struck before. “April’s Sowing” is that most widely appreciated thing in letters, a young love story.
Illustrated by Orson Lowell. With decorative cover, frontispiece, title page in color, and ornamental head and tail pieces. Cloth. 12mo; 5⅛ × 7¾. $1.50.
The Darlingtons
By ELMORE ELLIOTT PEAKE
A novel of American life in the middle West which deals principally with the fortunes of a family whose members are the social and financial leaders of their section. The heroine is a girl whose education is broad enough to enable her to assist her father in managing a railroad. The hero is a Methodist minister of liberal tendencies. The story is told with remarkable fidelity and unusual dramatic interest.
Cloth. 12mo; 5⅛ × 7¾. About $1.50.
Two Unknown Phases of Life Made Known in Fiction
The Powers That Prey
By Josiah Flynt and Francis Walton
The authors of the ten closely related stories which make up this volume have spent most of their lives studying the sociological problems of tramp and criminal life. Mr. Flynt writes: “So far as I am concerned, the book is the result of ten years of wandering with tramps and two years spent with various police organizations.” The stories are a decided contribution to sociology, and yet, viewed as stories, they have unusual interest because of their remarkable vigor and their intense realism.
Fully Illustrated. Cloth. 12mo; 5⅛ × 7¾. $1.25.
The Soul of the Street
By NORMAN DUNCAN
“The Soul of the Street” has a unity lacking in many volumes of short stories. They deal with Syrians and Turks, queer folk with queer ways, and Mr. Duncan has gotten at them with such sympathetic insight as only the poetic heart and the story-teller’s eye can possess. Character, humor, poignant pathos, and the sad grotesque conjunctions of old and new civilizations are expressed through the medium of a style that has distinction, and strikes a note of rare personality.
Cloth. 12mo; 5⅛ × 7¾. About $1.00.
