A LUCKY MISHAP, 



By EVA CATHARINE CLAPP, 



A Powerful New Novel of Modern Life, 



By the Author of "Her Bright Future." 



CLOTH, BLACK AND GOLD. 



The Author of this book made her debut as a novelist in " Her Bright 

 Future," which was most favorably received. The present work is a novel of 

 modern life, dealing very skillfully with one of the living questions of the day. 

 The characters are graphically portrayed, evincing on the part of the author 

 a deep insight into human nature. The story is full of interest from beginning 

 to end, fresh and breezy as a March morning. The plot is intricate and subtle 

 without being unnatural or wildly sensational. The dialogue is well sustained 

 and piquant. The author is evidently of an ambitious turn of mind, and has 

 ventured boldly but not unwisely into the domain of philosophy. 



Above all things, " A Lucky Mishap," is a healthful, inspiring book that 

 may be safely placed in the hands of our young people. 



Eva Catharine Clapp is destined to become a favorite author with American 

 readers. She has given large promise of better work to follow, and will no doubt 

 take rank with such popular writers as May Agnes Fleming and Mary Jane 

 Holmes.
