THE SUMMER TN GARDEN CITY 



HE so-called "dog 

 days" which we 

 are enjoying at 

 the Country 

 Life Press have 

 blessed us with 

 some lovely gar- 

 dens. It is un- 

 fortunate that 

 we cannot repro- 

 duce the glorious 

 colors, but these 

 photographs 

 give an idea of 

 some of the

MICHAEL 



Mrs. Gene Stratton-Porter's 

 new novel, " Michael O'Halloran," 

 was published on August 17th, 

 and has had the largest ad- 

 vance sale of any book Doubleday, 

 Page & Company ever issued — 

 more than 200,000 copies. But 

 it is not this idea of great 

 popularity that we wish to bring 

 out but the character of the book 

 itself, and its appeal as a whole- 

 some and inspiring novel which 

 will leave every one the better 

 for having read it. 



Mrs. Porter's books are con- 

 stantly surprising every one. 

 Last month a new edition of 

 "Freckles" was published in 

 London, and within a month more than 

 110,000 copies were sold, despite the grim 

 fact that England is in a deadly war. Al- 

 most at the same moment a Swedish 

 edition of "Laddie" appeared, and 1915 is 

 again a Gene Stratton-Porter year. 



THE TALL LIST 



Doubleday, Page & Company have lived 

 up to their avowed principle of "Fewer and 

 Better Books." In the number of volumes 

 or sets of volumes published, the list for 

 the fall is the smallest we have prepared for 

 many years and we think the best; fortun- 

 ately the orders are the largest, showing, we 



feel, that it is worth while to put our 

 efforts on books with large possibilities, and 

 secure for their authors the greatest public.
