One of the Rarest War Romances in 
Literature—a Transcript from Real Life 
THE LOVERS 
By ELIZABETH ROBINS PENNELL 
Frontispiece by Joseph Pennell. $1.00 net. 
This exquisite love-story is a transcription from real life—told in large 
measure “in the letters written from France by the artist-soldier to his wife, let¬ 
ters that are splendidly and movingly typical of the chivalry and courage which 
actuated those who rushed to the colors,” says the BOSTON TRANSCRIPT. The 
artist’s young wife aided Mrs. Pennell in securing the facts. How and why are a 
part of the wonderful story—a true story—one of the rarest war romances in 
literature. 
WAR 
By PIERRE LOTI 
Translated by Marjorie Laurie 
$1.25 net 
Tlie prevailing note of the book is 
genuine and tender sympathy with 
the victims of German barbarity. He 
describes, in simple but touching words, 
his encounters with wounded soldiers, 
Sisters of Mercy, and homeless Bel¬ 
gian orphans. But even under Pierre 
Loti’s mask of artistic restraint one 
can recognize the wrathful and con¬ 
temptuous bitterness that fills the soul 
of every Frenchman when he Blinks of 
the things that have been done in the 
name of war.

OH, MARY, 
BE CAREFUL! 
By GEORGE WESTON. 
Seven Illustrations. $1.00 net. 
Mary Meacham is one of the sea¬ 
son’s most popular heiresses. What 
she does with her $50,000 and three 
unusual tests for men makes one of the 
most amusing stories published this 
year. Its success was instantaneous 
and justly so, as it is one of those de¬ 
lightful stories which can be recom¬ 
mended to every member of the family. 
MAJOR GENERAL LEONARD WOOD 
says: 
“Every one of our young men who 
is physically fit ought to receive an 
adequate amount of military training, 
and this little hand-book is one which 
each and every one should read.”
