The Wind Before the Dawn B y Deli h. Munger The Street of the Two Friends By F. Berkeley Smith 



This is the epic of Kansas. It is also the epic of the farmer's wife, and of the 

 new order which is to make her an independent partner instead of a household 

 slave. It tells the story of a girl, young, vigorous, happy in spite of miserable 

 home conditions. She marries the man she loves, and then comes her real 

 problem as her husband develops the customary attitude of considering his wi fe 

 as a necessary piece of farm machinery. A surprising situation arises and the 

 tangled lives straighten out in a climax which is very dramatic. Eight illus- 

 trations in color by Thomas Fogarly. Net, $1.35. (Published August 15th.)

Is Your Husband 

 a non- 

 entity? 



Suppose you felt it in you to become a great

 would you give it up or follow the de- 

 sire that possessed you?

 absolutely in the grip of circumstance, the 

 plaything of the giant Industry, moves surely

 through days gray and sodden; and the light

Brotherly House 



By Grace S. Richmond 



Author of "On Christmas Day in the Morning," etc.

 such a quarrel had built up barriers between the Kingsley boys and girls, until 

 a family gathering was impossible, because they didn't even speak to one an- 

 other. One thing happened, however, that brought them to a loving sympathy 

 — and a Christmas party. It is an ideal gift book. Frontispiece by Thomas
