"Within the Ga^tes" 



A Drama of Terrestrial and Celestial Life. 

 By ELIZABETH STUART PHELPS 



The " Gates Ajar" stirred the world when Elizabeth Stuart Phelps was a voting writer near 

 the beginning of her career; twice since she has carried further her divinations of the future life, — 

 in "Beyond the Gates" and "The Gates Between," and still the theme has kept its lifelong hold 

 upon her. In "Within the Gates" she feels that she lias now unfolded her final mes ;age upon 

 it. "Within the Gates" throbs with the same intense feeling, the same imagination that have 

 ever moved this ardent woman's thousands of readers. The storv, the human story of love and 

 suffering is powerful, independent of all its consoling doctrine. 



Stories of the Stock Exchange 



By EDWIN LEFEVR.E 



Wall Street is as dramatic a field for fiction as 

 modern life affords. It would appear in modern stories 

 more frequently if brokers and speculators were more 

 literary, or if outsiders better understood its intricate inner 

 life. Mr. Edwin Lefevre, who knows the whole game, 

 has found a rich field for his stories of universal interest. 

 He understands the place to its heart, and can tell the 

 tales of triumph and despair, of human weakness and 

 strength, and caprice and passion that it abundantly 

 furnishes.

"Next to the Grovind" 



Descriptions of Life on a Tennessee Farm. 

 By MARTHA McCULLOCH-WILLIAMS 



There are other than sentimental ways of loving nature ; the strongest way brings an 

 almost physical hunger for the good green earth, a longing to get "next to the ground" and 

 revel in Nature's roughnesses and homeliness, as well as in her more delicate beauties. Mrs. 

 Williams brings it all to us in her remarkable records of. life, vegetable, human, animal and 

 insect life, on a Tennessee farm. She writes delightfully, but the wonder of her book is her 

 manifold limitless knowledge of her subject. She is not scientific, but science will be her debtor 

 for some of this delicious first hand observation.
