TILLIE: A Mennonite Maid. By Helen R. Martin. With ill.u.s.trations by Florence Scovel s.h.i.+nn.

The little ”Mennonite Maid” who wanders through these pages is something quite new in fiction. Tillie is hungry for books and beauty and love; and she comes into her inheritance at the end. ”Tillie is faulty, sensitive, big-hearted, eminently human, and first, last and always lovable. Her charm glows warmly, the story is well handled, the characters skilfully developed.”--_The Book Buyer_.

LADY ROSE'S DAUGHTER. By Mrs. Humphry Ward. With ill.u.s.trations by Howard Chandler Christy.

”The most marvellous work of its wonderful author.”--_New York World_.

”We touch regions and attain alt.i.tudes which it is not given to the ordinary novelist even to approach.”--_London Times_. ”In no other story has Mrs. Ward approached the brilliancy and vivacity of Lady Rose's Daughter.”--_North American Review_.

THE BANKER AND THE BEAR. By Henry K. Webster.

”An exciting and absorbing story.”--_New York Times_. ”Intensely thrilling in parts, but an unusually good story all through. There is a love affair of real charm and most novel surroundings, there is a run on the bank which is almost worth a year's growth, and there is all manner of exhilarating men and deeds which should bring the book into high and permanent favor.”--_Chicago Evening Post_.
