WILLIAM J. LOCKE 
Do you know the dreamy Septimus, the unconven¬ 
tional Marcus Ordeyne, the great hearted Jaffery, and 
the beloved Paragot? Then you will lose no time in 
meeting the quaint philosopher, Fortinbras, newest 
and finest of all Locke’s whimsical characters. You 
will find him in the Latin Quarter, where he salves 
the spirits of unhappy humans at five francs the con¬ 
sultation. (Read his “prescription’’ above). And, 
because you cannot just now take that prescription 
yourself, you will do yourself just as much good by 
surely reading Locke’s splendid novel that begins in 
the January number of Harper’s Bazar. 
With this new novel by Locke, with another by 
Mrs. Humphry Ward, beginning in February, and 
short stories by equally famous writers in every num¬ 
ber—all this in addition to its Fashions and Society 
News—is it any wonder that the most discriminating 
people are now turning with one accord to 
HARPER’S BAZAR 
The reason is very simple. Harper’s Bazar is the ONLY 
magazine that gives you all these three things—Fashions, 
Fiction, and Society. 
FASHIONS 
From the greatest Paris dressmakers, presented freshly each 
month; and also (by special arrangement) the exclusive de¬ 
signs of New York's most fashionable dressmakers, not 
shown elsewhere. 
FICTION 
by William J. Locke, Mrs. Humphry Ward, Stephen Peacock, 
Richard Le Gallienne, Beulah Marie Dix and many others 
of distinction. 
SOCIETY 
not only in photographs and comment but in original articles 
by the most prominent members of society. 
Do what these peo¬ 
ple are doing. This 
little coupon and $1 
will bring you Har¬ 
per’s Bazar for six 
months, beginning at 
once. (Bought one 
by one, the price is 
25 cents a copy.) 
Tear off the coupon 
and mail at once. 
HARPER’S BAZAR 
119 West 40th St., New York 
For the $1 enclosed, send me Harper’s I 
Bazar for six months, beginning with 
the January number, now ready. This 
is in accordance with your special invi¬ 
tation in House & Garden for January.

CON-SER-TEX 
solves all roofing problems 
WHAT IS CON-SER-TEX? It is a canvas 
roofing, chemically treated to preserve the 
fibre from the mildew and the detrimental 
action of the oil in paint. 
WHAT ARE ITS USES? It is used for 
Porch and House roofs, piazza floors, 
sleeping balconies, bathroom walls and 
floors, kitchen floors and all other places 
where a serviceable fabric is required. 
DOES IT DO THE WORK? It never rots 
or stretches. It hugs the porch or roof sur¬ 
face tightly. Neat and artistic in appear¬ 
ance. It deadens sound, is water proof and 
weather proof. Defies treading, coal gas, 
or any other wearing influence. 
DOES IT COST MUCH? Con-ser-tex is very 
inexpensive. Cheaper than most other roof¬ 
ing materials. It is easy to put on—thus 
saving time and eliminating trouble. 
ANYTHING ELSE? Yes, we will send you a 
sample of this wonderful fabric. A mo¬ 
ment’s investigation will show you its su¬ 
periority over untreated Cotton Duck and 
other roofing fabrics. We will also send you 
descriptive folder and price list.
