everly."--_Boston Herald._

"The most delightful of grown-up fairy-tales of modern times....
The characters ... are finely various and their conversations
piquantly fresh and edifying ... a dramatic climax of great
strength and beauty ... clean, clever, captivating."--_The Boston
Common._

"A very charming, very elusive and quite modern young lady ... a
very delightful story."--_Bellman._

M. LITTLE'S AT THE SIGN OF THE BURNING BUSH

A novel of such universal human appeal that locality makes little
difference. It starts as a satire on Scotch divinity students, tho there
is said to be "not a word of preaching in it".

"Characters drawn with a sure hand, and with unusual subtlety. The
story broadens and strikes deep roots into human nature and human
life ... a story that seems as if it might have been made out of
the real experiences of flesh and blood, told with humor that is
sometimes biting and sometimes gentle, and with very great
humanness."--_The New York Times Review._

GERTRUDE HALL'S THE UNKNOWN QUANTITY

A young widow comes to New York to investigate various business
interests of her late husband, and finds herself face to face at the
outset with the two most vital problems of a woman's life.

"Her people are alive. They linger in the imagination."--_Boston
Transcript._

"Seeing life with sincerity and truth ... she has a rather big idea
for a working basis."--_The Bookman._

"Retains the charmed interest ... the quiet, thoughtful style, and
the vivid, if restrained, humanity. The tale is so natural, so
lifelike.... The author's evident faith in the eternal rightness of
things."--_Chicago Record-Herald._
