Another $100 for Good Reviews 



Readers are familiar with the statement so frequently made that 

 the day of the adequate critical and analytical review is past. For 

 ourselves, we believe that the best analyses of books are now 

 made by intelligent readers who do not write for publication. 

 With the idea of testing the whole subject, we offer the follow- 

 ing prizes for the best reviews of Mrs. Humphry Ward's new 

 novel " Marriage a la Mode." 



The prizes awarded for reviews of "The Climber" are an- 

 nounced in this number. So great has been the interest shown in 

 these reviews that we now make the same offer on Mrs. Ward's 

 new book, which is her first novel with an American setting, 

 and which, treating as it does the great question of divorce, has 

 caused much comment. These rules must be followed:

The review to be not more than 1,000 words,

The manuscript to be submitted not later than Sep- 

 tember 15th. 



The prizes to be awarded and announced in the 

 November numbers of Doubleday, Page & Com- 

 pany's magazines, " Country Life in America," 

 "The World's Work," and "The Garden Magazine," 

 the successful reviews to be printed at that time. 



The First Prize is $50. The Second Prize is $30. The Third Prize 

 is $20. The Fourth Prize, books from our book catalogue to the amount 

 of S7.50. The Fifth Prize, books to the amount of $5.00. The Sixth
