Just Out :: NOVELS OF SOCIAL INTEREST :: Just Out 
The Price of Love 
By ARNOLD BENNETT 
A story of mystery, youth and love. In the first pages the reader is brought 
face to face with an extraordinary situation. The interest which the six 
characters find in all the details of life is intense — -Bennett’s own contagious 
interest. No one is ever bored, nor consequently is the reader. Youthful love, 
youthful intolerance, youthful oblivion of all but self and the moment, are 
embodied in the heroine. So feminine is she in her strength and her ignorance, 
in her insight into her husband’s weaknesses and in her love which must spend 
itself to be the object, worthy or not. Illustrated.. S1.35 net. Special edition 
limited to 2,000 copies. 15 illustrations, many of them in color. $2.00 net. 
What Will People Say? 
By RUPERT HUGHES 
A brilliant story of New York’s mad dance after pleas¬ 
ure and wealth. Through hotels and cabarets, ballrooms 
and country houses, by motor and on yachts, on the 
backs of blooded horses; eating, drinking, making love, 
beautiful young girls, women who still try to be young, 
and the men of their gay set, follow each other in feverish 
haste, with no brake to hold them back except the fear 
of "what will people say?” But the piper waits to be 
paid. Illustrated. $1.36 net. 
The Marryers 
By IRVING BACHELLER 
"It's a ticklesome kind of book,” says one man who 
has read the story. "A journey of about a thousand 
laughs will land one at the climax of the story a wiser and 
better American. Laugh by laugh he gathers wisdom 
in its pages.” Like "Keeping Up With Lizzie,” it pro¬ 
vokes the laughter of conviction. You get your mental 
house jacked up and plumbed and leveled. "The 
Marryers” is Socrates Potter at his best. This time 
he goes after the Europe-mad and the title-crazy. He 
points the way to the only asylum for the sane in a time 
of general insanity—in a time when people are wasting 
their property and honor in wild commercial dissipations.

NOVELS OF THE OUTDOOR WORLD 
The Forester’s Daughter 
By HAMLIN GARLAND 
“The book is beautifully written. The love story and the realization of the situations which 
arise over the coming of the tenderfoot, the description of the scenery, of the mountain storms 
and of the drives of the daughter, the forester and Wayland over the mountains, holds the 
attention from the first page to the last." — Brooklyn Eagle. “The outdoor setting of Colorado 
forests and trails is given with all the lure of a truly wild country, and the whole book breathes 
refreshingly of pines and ozone.” — San Francisco Chronicle. Illustrated. $1.26 net. 
The Light of Western Stars 
By ZANE GREY 
A story of the Mexican-Arizona border. Bandits and 
outlaws, Mexicans and American ranchers live the ex¬ 
citing life which is making history at the present moment. 
"Mr. Grey throws in abundant good measure of dramatic 
incidents, climaxes and thrills.” — Chicago Record-Herald. 
Frontispiece. $1.35 net. 
Under Handicap 
By JACKSON GREGORY 
A romance of reclamation — the reclamation of a West 
ern desert by irrigation and the reclamation of a rich 
idler to strong, self-reliant manhood. And when, in 
spite of opposition and treachery' the great project was 
finished, the man who had succeeded found favor in the 
eyes of the girl whom he loved from his first sight of her 
riding across the desert. Frontispiece. SI.35 net.

you intend to use them, and make a 
selection to be planted in a bed just as 
you would other flowers. You may get 
some of the oak-leaved, scented sorts or 
the pelargonium, with great blossoms 
shaded beautifully. Here are some tried 
varieties of the single sorts: 
Alphonse Ricard, bright vermilion; 
Beaute Poitevine, salmon pink; Mme. 
Recamier, a pure white; Marquise Cas- 
tellane, a double-toned red; S. A. Nutt, 
a dark scarlet crimson. The single sorts 
may be had in light colors with large 
blossoms. There are ivy-leaved gerani¬ 
ums and variegated sorts, the best of the 
latter being a dwarf, Mme. Salleroi. But 
above all, with your geraniums, do not set 
a circular bed or geometrical pattern in 
your lawn and arrange the flowers. 
Do you know the tuberous begonias 
well enough ? Here is a rich boon for 
the one who has to start late. The be¬ 
gonias are stocky plants, 12 inches to 15 
inches usually, with interesting, shiny 
leaves. The flowers are great, waxy 
blossoms that grow sometimes 4 inches 
to 6 inches across, and are wonderfully 
shaded through the whole gamut of 
colors, from pale white through yellow 
to scarlet. What is more, they will bloom 
in the shaded parts of the garden. Do 
not confuse the tuberous begonias with 
the greenhouse begonia. You will find 
now that the tuberous sorts are not at 
all difficult to grow. They require a rich 
but fine soil in good cultivation, and de¬ 
mand plenty of water. Be sure that this 
is added after sundown. Use the tuber¬ 
ous begonias before a group of ferns or 
before the broad-leaved evergreens that 
are past flowering, or you can make a 
single border of these plants. 
The summer house that is rented is 
usually dreadfully bare close to the porch 
and in the beds adjoining the entrance. 
You may fill in corners by a judicious 
use of the castor bean plant and a care¬ 
ful selection of cannas. These plants 
should be used carefully in such a situa¬ 
tion, and by no means should they be 
planted in stiff rows. The castor bean 
grows very rapidly and will give a 
growth of interesting green that will 
cover up many unpleasant bare spots. It 
is recommended for this purpose only on 
account of expediency. 
The castor-oil plant and caladiums are 
best used by themselve away from the 
house. A corner of the garden could 
be improved by them, planting them in a 
naturalesque manner and getting the full 
effect of their exotic appearance. The 
newly improved forms of cannas give 
color to the tropical foliage of the leaf 
plants. Remember that cannas may be 
had in a variety of colors — pink, white, 
yellow, crimson and scarlet and with 
bronze as well as green leaves. A very 
striking effect could be made by using 
these rapidly growing plants to shut off
