A story of modern society, showing how a young couple
chafe against the conventional habits of everyday life, and
both start out independently in search of romance, to find
that their devious paths bring them at length to the same
goal—far beyond the iron clutch of society.

A psychological problem, a pictur-
esque romance of theatrical life, and
a detective story, here combine to
make a very readable novel. The
chivalric hero is a strong characteri-
zation, and the little actress, Divvy-
Di, emerges from the story as a
charming personality.

“Here is a thrilling tale of primi-
tive love which grips the reader and
presents a vivid background.”
—Boston Globe.

In gay and satiric vein Mr. Street
plays host to the stranger in New
York. This is comedy in the best
of good humor and yet with its
lesson. The mirror is held up by
the jester and New York sees itself.

Lady Essendine’s love affair with an attractive young
American, before she has obtained the decree absolute after
divorcing her unfaithful husband, involves her in a curious
tangle. The author most cleverly tells how she extricates
herself. The book is alive with incident, and the charac-
ters are drawn with rare artistic skill.

“M. France has so deeply penetrated the strange con-
trasts and contradictions of the age of which he writes that
he has presented the truest picture and the profoundest
study of the French Revolution that has yet appeared in
fiction.”—New York Times.

“ A ‘ rattling good story ’ of adven-
ture which is at the same time a con-
tribution to literature. The experi-
ences of the hero and the recldess
but fascinating life of ‘Apache Kid’
command the reader’s breathless in-
terest. More dash, greater perils, a
finer outlaw could not be desired.”
—New York Times.

“They are pleasant company indeed,
these children of Locke’s fertile imagi-
nation; the world is glad of them and
grateful for the fine and true art which
made them. Now . . . there has
come among them a strange, fair crea-
ture, a young girl, delicate as a white
violet, but brave and true as Jeanne
d’Arc. . . . It is proof of Mr. Locke’s
genius that he keeps the various issues
clear, and vividly exhibits conflicting
motives.”—New York Times.
“ In this Mr. Locke has outdone him-
self. ‘Stella Maris’ is a great novel,
through which runs a powerful thought
expressed by a consummate artist in
most striking literary form.”
—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
