I2 Mr. Edward Arnold's Autumn Announcements 
NEW NOVELS. 
THE PASQUE FLOWER. 
By JANE WARDLE, 
AuTHOR oF ‘Marcery Picron,’ ‘THe Lorp oF Latimer STREET,’ ETC. 
Crown 8vo., cloth. 6s. 
Jane Wardle’s new story centres primarily in the search for a 
monkish treasure supposed to be hidden at an ancient mansion in 
the Wiltshire downs, and secondarily in the love affairs of a young 
man who is not able to make up his mind which of two girls he is 
in love with. Such is the groundwork of a tale that is told in the 
author’s charming and original manner, and one that displays her 
talent for character drawing to its fullest advantage. 
A CRUCIAL EXPERIMENT. 
By A. C. FARQUHARSON, 
AuTuor oF ‘Sr. Nazarius,’ ETC. 
Crown 8v0., cloth. 6s. 
A distinguished composer and teacher of music, wealthy and 
independent, but wholly wrapped up in his art, goes through the 
form of marriage with a young girl possessing a genius for music, in 
order to enable her to escape from hostile surroundings, and pursue 
her true vocation under his roof. This is the crucial experiment. 
Needless to say, it does not work out in the way contemplated by its 
originator. The situation develops to a tragic climax ; the interest 
of the book lies in the portrayal of the emotional conflicts which 
rack the essentially noble and upright characters whose destinies are 
involved. 
THE BEGGAR IN THE HEART. 
By EDITH RICKERT, 
AuTHoR oF ‘Tue GoLpen Hawk,’ ‘ Tue Reaper,’ ETC. 
Crown 8vo0., cloth. 6s. 
Miss Rickert has already shown in ‘ The Golden Hawk’ that she 
possesses the true spirit of romance, and her new story will not 
disappoint her large and increasing circle of admirers. The scene is 
for the most part laid in London, and the characters are drawn with 
remarkable charm and delicacy. It is a story that cannot fail to 
give pleasure, and to remain long in the memory.
