THE RIDING MASTER
A Love Story of Today
By DOLF WYLLARDE |2mo.
HOUSE OF SERRAVALLE
BAGOT, Author of “The Just and the Unjust,” Etc.
Cloth. 12mo. $1.50
The scene is laid in Rome. The villain of the story is a priest, the chaplain of the
Duke of Serravalle. The Duke’s secretary, a young Englishman, discovers that much
secret plotting, scheming and clandestine meetings are taking place between the
chaplain, the doctor and the lawyer of the village, and suspects that the Duke’s life is in
danger. The foiling of these schemes, in which the young Englishman plays an
important part, forms the theme of the story.
THE HEART OF THE BUSH
An Australian Love Story
By EDITH SEARLE CROSSMAN
A SINNER IN ISRAEL
A Romance of Modern Jewish Life
By PIERRE COSTELLO Cloth. 12mo.
“The book is a telling study of a mind divided between race and creed. The author knows the mind of orthodox Judaism
and reveals it with candor. The novel is worth reading.”—The Athenceum.
THE LASS WITH THE DELICATE AIR
By A. R. GORING-THOMAS, Author of “Mrs. Gramercy Park” cloth. 12mo. $1.50
In his new novel Mr. Goring-Thomas relates the history of a young girl whose beautiful face
is a mask that allures. Round this history of “The Lass with the Delicate Air” is woven the
story of the Hicks family. Mrs. Hicks keeps a lodging house in Chelsea and has theatrical
ambitions. The author has keen powers of observation and the faculty of “getting inside a
woman’s mind,” and the same witty dialogue that was so commented upon in “Mrs. Gramercy
Park” is again seen in the new work. The scene of the book is laid partly in London and partly
in Paris.
A FAIR HOUSE
By HUGH DE SELINCOURT, Author of “A Boy’s Marriage,” “The Way Things Happen,” Etc.
Cloth. I2mo. $1.50
The outstanding idea of Mr. Hugh de Selincourt’s new novel is the possibility of absolute love and confidence between father and
daughter. It is the main thread of the story, and all the incidents are subordinated to it. The book falls naturally into three
sections. The first opens with the birth of the daughter and the death of the mother, the father’s utter despair, until an idea comes
to him to make the child his masterpiece and to see how much one human being can mean to another. The second deals with the
growth of the child from five to fifteen. In the third the girl becomes a woman. Her first experience of love is unhappy and
threatens to destroy the confidence between father and daughter. The end of the book leaves her with the knowledge that one love
does not necessarily displace another, and that a second, happier love has only strengthened the bond between her father and herself.
A GENTLEMAN OF THE ROAD
By HORACE BLEACKLEY, Author of “Ladies Fair and Frail,” Etc.
Cloth. 12mo. $1.50
A story of abductions, lonely inns, highwaymen and handmen. Two men are
in love with Margaret Crofton—Colonel Thornley, an old villain, and Dick
Maynard, who is as youthful as he is virtuous. Thornley nearly succeeds in
compelling Margaret to marry him, for he has in his possession a document sadly
incriminating to her father. Maynard settles Thornley, but himself in his turn is
“up against it.” Pie is arrested in complicity in the highway thefts of a glad but
graceless young ruffian. Both are sentenced to death, but a great effort is made to
get them reprieved. The book ends in a scene of breathless interest before the
Tvburn gallows.
COMPENSATION
By ANNE WARWICK Cloth. 12mo. $1.50
An American love story. The romance of a young girl in the political, diplo-
matic and social life of Washington. The theme is original, the characters finely
drawn, especially the girl and the senator.
THE SINS OF THE CHILDREN
A Study in Social Values
By HORACE W. C. NEWTE, Author of “Sparrows” Cloth. 12mo. $1.50
The problem involved by a young girl’s affection for her father, a man of humble birth, and her aspirations toward the social
position for which her education, owing to her father’s deep devotion, had eminently fitted her.
