A Great Combined List 



AS WE announced in last month's "Talk of the Office," the consolida- 

 tion of the McClure Company's catalogue with our own brings to us 

 a most attractive list of authors and books. A slight representation from 

 the very important McClure list is included in this page of new books 



Gertrude Atherton 



The Gorgeous Isle 



A tropical love story of extravagant splendor by an author whose books are 

 always welcomed with enthusiasm. Uniform with Tarkington's "His Own 

 People" and Maurice Hewlett's "The Spanish Jade" in the "Little Novel 

 Series." Remarkable illustrations in color by C. C. Phillips. 



Special net, 90 cents {postage 10 cents) 



Booth Tarkington 



The Guest of Quesnay 



An entrancing love romance of Normandy. The myterious love affair, the 

 elusively fragrant romantic atmosphere, the characters that move through the 

 scenes with living and breathing realism — all are delightfully reminiscent of 

 the rare art of Beaucaire. Illustrations by W. J. Duncan. $1.50 



Stewart Edward White 



The Riverman 



Mr. White's magnificent story of the lumber country has the qualities of 

 bigness and permanence that placed "The Blazed Trail," its predecessor, 

 among the few classics of modern fiction. "It stirs the blood like martial 

 music." — Chicago Record-Herald. 



Fourteen illustrations in tint by Wyeth and Underwood. $1.50 



C. N. and A. M. Williamson 



The Motor Maid 



In Preparation 

 A story with all the youthful sparkle and gay romance of "The Lightning 

 Conductor," and one of the best the Williamsons have issued. It is sure to 

 be one of the "best sellers" of the new year. 



Reminiscences of Carl Schurz
