With ill.u.s.trations by Hermann Heyer.
In this "plantation romance" Mr. Eggleston has resumed the manner and method that made his "Dorothy South" one of the most famous books of its time.
There are three tender love stories embodied in it, and two unusually interesting heroines, utterly unlike each other, but each possessed of a peculiar fascination which wins and holds the reader's sympathy. A pleasing vein of gentle humor runs through the work, but the "sum of it all" is an intensely sympathetic love story.
HEARTS AND THE CROSS, By Harold Morton Cramer
With ill.u.s.trations by Harold Matthews Brett.
The hero is an unconventional preacher who follows the line of the Man of Galilee, a.s.sociating with the lowly, and working for them in the ways that may best serve them. He is not recognized at his real value except by the one woman who saw clearly. Their love story is one of the refres.h.i.+ng things in recent fiction.

THE SHUTTLE, By Frances Hodgson Burnett
With inlay cover in colors by Clarence F. Underwood.
This great international romance relates the story of an American girl who, in rescuing her sister from the ruins of her marriage to an Englishman of t.i.tle, displays splendid qualities of courage, tact and restraint. As a study of American womanhood of modern times, the character of Bettina Vanderpoel stands alone in literature. As a love story, the account of her experience is magnificent. The masterly handling, the glowing style of the book, give it a literary rank to which very few modern novels have attained.
THE MAKING OF A MARCHIONESS,
By Frances Hodgson Burnett
Ill.u.s.trated with half tone engravings by Charles D. Williams. With initial letters, tail-pieces, decorative borders. Beautifully printed, and daintily bound, and boxed.
A delightful novel in the author's most charming vein. The scene is laid in an English country house, where an amiable English n.o.bleman is the centre of matrimonial interest on the part of both the English and Americans present.
Graceful, sprightly, almost delicious in its dialogue and action. It is a book about which one is tempted to write ecstatically.
THE METHODS OF LADY WALDERHURST,
By Francis Hodgson Burnett
A Companion Volume to "The Making of a Marchioness."
With ill.u.s.trations by Charles D. Williams, and with initial letters, tail-pieces, and borders, by A. K. Womrath. Beautifully printed and daintily bound, and boxed.
"The Methods of Lady Walderhurst" is a delightful story which combines the sweetness of "The Making of a Marchioness," with the dramatic qualities of "A Lady of Quality." Lady Walderhurst is one of the most charming characters in modern fiction.
VAYENNE, By Percy Brebner
With ill.u.s.trations by E. Fuhr.
This romance like the author's _The Princess Maritza_ is charged to the brim with adventure. Sword play, bloodshed, justice grown the mult.i.tude, sacrifice, and romance, mingle in dramatic episodes that are born, flourish, and pa.s.s away on every page.
