Have you ever 



wanted to be a 



Gypsy ? 



It was the love of the open road and the joy of 

 being close to nature's heart that led a New York 

 girl into such surprising and delightful adventures 



In Search of Arcady 



By Nina Wilcox Putnam 



How Cecil Fitz-Williams, a young titled Scotchman, loses his heart to Lolli Plashta, a gypsy, is an- 

 other thread of this charming romance. He follows her by means of the "Patterin", that mystic call 

 of love and friendship of the Romany folk, and the denouement, in which the New York girl plays a 

 most important part, is full of romantic interest. 



Illustrated Fixed Price, $1.20 (postage 12c.) 



Red Eve 



By H. Rider Haggard. JJuthor of "She, " etc. 



In this tale of the Middle Ages, Rider Haggard has given us a picture in his vivid and striking way 

 of the days when feudalism was in the land and every man held his life and love in the strength of 

 his sword arm. 



Four illustrations in color by A. C. Michael. Fixed price $ 1 .20 (postagel 2c) 



Radium Terrors 



By Albert Dorrington 



An almost priceless tube of radium disappears from the laboratory of a London physician while he 

 turns aside for a moment to answer the phone, and a young detective named Gifford undertakes to 

 solve the mystery after Scotland Yard is hopelessly confused. 



Illustrated. Fixed price, $1.20 (postage 12c.) 



The Girondin 



By Hilaire Belloc 



A remarkable new tale by Mr. Belloc in which he tells of the love and adventures of a French artil- 

 leryman in the French Revolution. Mr. Belloc himself served in the French Army and he adds to a 

 whimsical humor and fine story-telling skill a first-hand knowledge of camp-life and military affairs. 

 There is no writer to-day who is more at home with the men and women of the period of the Revolution.

MY BOOKLET ON 

 ORIENTAL RUGS 



Free on 

 Request 



I would like to acquaint every Rug lover with my 

 hobby — the buying of Antique Oriental Rugs of real 

 quality and selling them to other rug lovers at fair 

 prices. My 15 years' experience studying and buy- 

 ing rugs has been so interesting that I want others to 

 know about real Oriental Rug values — I ship rugs on 

 approval, pay charges both ways, and have no other 

 aim than to give satisfaction.
