Your Daughter and Your Duty! 
LESLIE’S is about to break a lifelong rule. It has never under its present manage¬ 
ment, published a story in serial form; now it is about to do so, beginning June 26th 
Our two million readers will realize that only extraordinary reasons could have brought this 
about. They will understand those reasons when they begin to read the first instalment of 
FOR THE SAKE OF HER SOUL 
By Reginald Wright Kauffman 
Author of “The House of Bondage,” “Running Sands,” etc. 
We want to talk to you about 
this powerful work. In 1910, “The 
House of Bondage” almost blinded 
the nation by its terrific lightning- 
flash. Living among the White 
Slaves of whom he wrote, and 
making many firm friendships in 
that world, Mr. Kauffman worked 
with genuine art and burning sin¬ 
cerity. The result was a sensation 
such as no novel had, for a gener- 
tion, created. Educators, clergy¬ 
men, literary-critics, sociologists 
and physicians acclaimed this “The 
Uncle Tom’s Cabin of White Slav¬ 
ery.” Through translations, it is 
having a similar success in Ger¬ 
many, France, Norway, Switzer¬ 
land, Belgium, Sweden and Aus¬ 
tria. 
Almost immediately after the 
publication of “The House of 
Bondage,” Leslie’s resolved on 
what then seemed a perilous course 
for any magazine: it undertook to 
put fearlessly before the public 
what President Hyde of Bowdoin 
College soon came to call the 
“moral issue of the oncoming gen¬ 
eration.” Without fear or favor, 
and against the advice of many well- 
meaning friends, we secured and gave 
to our readers the hideous facts of the 
White Slave Traffic, which we proceeded 
to prove to be a menace to YOU— to every 
home in the country, however protected. 
With Mr. Kauffman’s series of true and 
typical stories, “The Girl That Goes 
Wrong,” as our chief feature, Leslie’s 
became the first magazine, and Mr. 
Kauffman the first novelist, to attack the 
Modern Moloch. We sounded the dan¬ 
ger-signal for the nation. 
We say without hesitation that, great 
as was the good done by Mr.Kauffman's 
previous work, this new novel will do a 
greater good, because it not only shows 
how girls fall, but how they may rise 
or avoid falling. Strong, realistic, dra¬ 
matic, compelling, “For the Sake of Her 
Soul” is at once a triumph of literature 
and morals. 
Some of Mr. Kauffman’s few critics 
have complained that he does not gener¬ 
ally take enough account of the influence 
of religion upon character: this novel is 
one of the sincerest tributes to the power 
of the religious instinct that has ever been 
penned. 
Other critics have said that, though 
perhaps the strongest novelist that Amer¬ 
ica has produced, so far as sheer force 
and power go, Mr. Kauffman is too brutal; 
yet this novel, while showing even greater 
power than “The House of Bondage,” 
draws full half of its appeal from the 
moving sympathy and tenderness that, 
m every line its author shoivs with 
the heart of its central character. 
That character, the character of 
the girl Joe Meggs, both a delicate 
and strong creation, is one that has 
come into literature to stay. A girl 
of The People—not born of the 
very poor, nor yet the very rich— 
she is the sort of girl that save for 
unessential details,your own daugh¬ 
ter is; the sort your own wife, sis¬ 
ter, sweetheart is, in whatever 
stratum of American life you may 
chance to be. Precisely for that 
reason, in Joe the tempted and tried, 
finally triumphant through what 
she calls her “own will to be good " 
Mr. Kauffman, showing life’s pit- 
falls and one way to avoid them, 
has given us what is among the 
most tender and firm, fine and beau¬ 
tiful figures in modern fiction. 
Read the story yourself and you 
will agree. It will begin in Leslie’s 
for June 26th and run for ten suc¬ 
cessive issues. If you read one 
chapter you will read all. 
As Rebecca West, the great English 
critic, has said of him: “Mr.Kauffman’s 
fingers are delicate, but strong.” He is 
the master of saying all that is true 
without saying anything that is unclean. 
In this novel there will be nothing to 
hurt the honest sensibilities of girl or 
woman; there will be everything that / 
every girl and woman ought to / 
know. Without offense, but with- / 
out fear, he tells, by an unhesi- / 
tating pen, “the . truth, the / 
whole truth and nothing but / 
the truth,” and he does /' 
this because he and we /' f. & s. 
are convinced that 
The Time Has Come When the Truth Must Be Told 
/ 
If you are a young girl, it is your duty to read “FOR THE SAKE OF HER SOUL” in order that 
you may know the perils that beset your own soul. 
If you are a young man, it is your duty to read this veracious yet thrilling story in order that 
you may realize your responsibilities toward womankind. 
If you are a Father or Mother, it is above all your duty to read this compelling series of rev¬ 
elations in fiction-form, because nothing else can so bring home to you the knowledge of 
ivhat you should do to make men of your sons, the knowledge of what you must do to save 
your daughters.
