No. 1.
A STORY OF POWER AND PATHOS.
THE SENATOR’S BRIDE.
By Mrs. ALEX. McVEIGH MILLER,
Author of “Brunette and Blonde,” “Lady Gay’s Pride,” etc.
This is a domestic story of deep interest, charmingly written, with vigor and earnestness, and has not a dull scene in it. The author’s purpose is to portray nature; she therefore avoids all extravagance, and relies entirely upon her ability to entertain her readers with the presentation of scenes and incidents that never surpass probability, yet are extremely captivating.
The story of “THE SENATOR’S BRIDE” is something more than a work of fiction. It contains a moral that is certain to be impressed upon all who follow the career of the wife who wrecked her happiness because she respected herself too much to deceive her husband.
