THERE ARE 14 BOOKS TO SELECT FROM! 



His Courtship, by Helen R. Martin. 

 The romance of a clean-cut young college 

 professor and an appallingly unworldly 

 little pastoral maid. Really exquisite 

 love story. 



The Master of Stair, by Marjorie 

 Bowen. Conventional heroes and hero- 

 ines have no place in this stirring story of 

 the famous massacre of Glencoe. The 

 action is rapid. 



The Smiths, by Keble Howard. A 

 sprightly, tender, delightful tale of sub- 

 urban life that introduces a humorist of 

 the rarest quality. It is full of human 

 heart-interest. 



The Second Violin, by Grace S. Rich- 

 mond. The absorbing adventures of a 

 family of young people temporarily or- 

 phaned because of their mother's illness, 

 and keeping up the home together. 



To Him That Hath, by LeRoy 

 Scott. A very vivid book of many- 



sided city life, stripped of drapery and 

 pretense, full of human nature and 

 action. 



The Leader, by Mary Dillon. Its 

 hero, John Dalton, is a man of the 

 people — its heroine, the daintiest of 

 aristocrats, charming and lovable. 



Kilo, by Ellis Parker Butler. The 

 wily adventures of Eliph' Hewlett, the 

 famous book-agent, who is known to 

 countless thousands of readers. 



Lord Jim, by Joseph Conrad. An 

 intensely human story of a young sea- 

 man who is called upon to face an emer- 

 gency and the manner in which he 

 meets it. 



The House with the Green Shut= 

 ters, by George Douglas. A strong, 

 impressive story of Scotch life. Balzac 

 and Flaubert, had they been Scotch, 

 would have written such a book. 



Helena's Path, by Anthony Hope. 

 A charming novelette that combines 

 the romantic interest of "Zenda" with 

 the sprightliness of the "Dolly Dia- 

 logues." 



Aunt Maud, by Ernest Oldmeadow, 

 author of "Susan." The romantic 

 story of a fascinating matchmaker who 

 becomes herself involved in the maze of 

 complications which she causes. 



Pardners, by Rex Beach. Vigorous 

 and original stories of Western and 



Alaskan life; by the author of "The 

 Spoilers" and " The Barrier." 



The God of His Fathers, by Jack 

 London. "The Kipling of the Klon- 

 dike "... In these stories the 

 author has done for the Yukon mining 

 camps what Bret Harte did for the 

 California camps. 



Far from the Maddening Girls, 

 by Guy Wetmore Carry! . A sprightly 

 and amusing tale of a man who built a 

 temple in the woods, " Single Blessed- 

 ness," in which to worship.
