METHUEN'S POPULAR NOVELS $ 



REMITTANCE BILLY 



By ASHTON HILLIERS, Author of ' Memoirs of a 

 Person of Quality.' Second Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



In this book Mr. Ashton Hilliers, again finding his material in the 

 world we live in, tells of the quite excusable muddling of a straight, 

 but rather stupid young gentleman, whose ignorance of 'business' is 

 too severely punished by ' business-like relations,' who regard him as 

 hopeless, until he, saved by his love of nature, and befriended by out- 

 siders who see stuff in the fellow, muddles through, to the surprise of 

 his family and himself. There is a nice girl in it, and a militant 

 suffragette, but only two unfortunate marriages, and one of these 

 comes right at last. 



A KINGDOM DIVIDED 



By DAVID LISLE, Author of 'A Painter of Souls.' 

 Crown 8vo, 6s. 



This new novel by the author of A Painter of Sozi!s may be de- 

 scribed as actively controversial. It deals largely with poignant 

 chapters in the life of a young clergyman, and in its pages we find an 

 amazing array of startling facts connected with the march of Ritualism 

 and the future of England. Side by side with the history of a tragic 

 struggle we find glowing descriptions of scenery and of brilliant social 

 life. The scene is laid in Devon, and, later on, at Biarritz. 



JUDITH LEE : Some Pages from her Life 



By RICHARD MARSH, Author of ' A Royal Indiscretion.' 

 With Four Illustrations. Second Edition. Crown 

 8vo, 6s. 



The world has already been introduced to the famous female 

 detective Judith Lee in the pages of the Strand Magazine, where her 

 popularity was very great. The child of parents who were teachers 

 of the oral system to the deaf and dumb, as soon almost as she learnt 

 to speak she learnt to read what people were saying by watching their 

 lips. Devoting her whole life to the improvement of a very singular 

 natural aptitude, and employing it in the discovery and frustration 

 of crime, she has become, as we find in this book, a constant source 

 of wonder and delight, and a very encyclopaedia of adventure. 



THE SILVER DRESS 



By Mrs. GEORGE NORMAN, Author of 'Lady Fanny.' 

 Crown 8vo, 6s. 



A novel describing the life of an attractive and still young woman 

 whose circumstances are those of so many others of her type in 

 England, for she has no acquaintances but women, is approaching 

 'the youth of middle age' without yet knowing love or any vital 

 interest. Then, quite unexpectedly, adventure, and, subsequently, 

 love coming to her, she lives for the first time.
