JUST OUT—THE SPRING’S NEW FICTION 
THE LEVER 
By William Dana Orcutt 
“The only lever that moves the world is love, and it rests on a fulcrum of honor.” A fine 
sentiment, yes—but does it agree with life as we know it? One man and one woman—much 
like the rest of us—live out this question to a remarkable answer. The man is a strong man 
and an idealist. He has a colossal plan of world-wide domination. In attempting to "bring 
about a new social dispensation he encounters love, hate, and revenge—these human qualities 
that always endure. This reality of men and women is forged into a tense and sympathetic 
novel. The humor of the dialogue and the pretty sentiment of a very youthful pair of lovers 
add a light charm to the big throbbing romance which 
~ sw eeps through the book. Frontispiece by 
Th** n 1 g Graham Cootes. Post 8 vo,

THE 
UNKNOWN 
LADY 
By Justus Miles Forman 
Recalling Trilby, but with a 
less melodramatic plot and a 
flavor all its own, this story 
of a romantic quest has the 
glow and freshness of a per¬ 
sonal experience. The hero 
since childhood has been 
haunted by the vision of a 
beautiful woman and becomes 
an artist in order to paint the 
features that enthrall him. At 
last he finds the original of 
his quest. The climax is one 
of startling surprise. The 
story, by all odds Mr. For¬ 
man’s best, is full of dra¬ 
matic scenes, and the charac¬ 
ters—artists great and small, 
musicians, models, and stu¬ 
dents—make Bohemian Paris 
an alluring reality. With 
frontispiece. Post 8z >0', Cloth,

MAX 
By 
Katherine CecilThurston 
Almost without exception crit¬ 
ics say “Max” is better than 
“The Masquerader.” A re¬ 
markable thing about this love 
story is that the heroine is also 
the hero. Illustrated. Post

Skipper and the

Full of humor, with the tang of the brine along Cap’n Sproul’s 
native Maine coast. Cap’n Sproul, the author’s famous char¬ 
acter, has in this new novel adventures that turn the town 
topsy-turvy. Pitted against the local tyrant, Colonel Gideon 
Ward, the Cap’n is often in desperate straits, but the wit and 
ingenuity of the man who has “side-wiped many Portergees” 
are more than a match for him. “A lot of meditation and a 
little prayer will do wonders in this world, especially when 
you’re mad enough” is Cap’n Sproul’s philos- 
~ ophy. Illustrated.

“Let’s be glad for books like ‘Marv Cary,’ ”

the households of America, a story that, in 
time, will be as much of a favorite as any.”
