ire," "The Return of the Prodigal," etc.

_Cloth, 12mo, $1.35_

Every reader of "The Divine Fire," in fact every reader of any of Miss
Sinclair's books, will at once accord her unlimited praise for her
character work. "The Three Sisters" reveals her at her best. It is a
story of temperament, made evident not through tiresome analyses but by
means of a series of dramatic incidents. The sisters of the title
represent three distinct types of womankind. In their reaction under
certain conditions Miss Sinclair is not only telling a story of
tremendous interest but she is really showing a cross section of life.

"Once again Miss Sinclair has shown us that among the women writers
to-day she can be acclaimed as without rival in the ability to draw a
character and to suggest atmosphere.... In "The Three Sisters" she gives
full measure of her qualities. It is in every way a characteristic
novel."--_London Standard._

"Miss Sinclair's singular power as an artist lies in her identification with
nature.... She has seldom written a more moving story."--_Metropolitan._

"It is a book powerful alike in its description of the background and in
its analysis of character.... This story confirms the impression of her
unusual ability."--_Outlook._

"Miss Sinclair's most important book."--_Reedy's Mirror._

"'The Three Sisters' is a powerful novel, written with both vigor and
delicacy, dramatic, absorbingly interesting."--_New York Times._

The Pentecost of Calamity

By OWEN WISTER

Author of "The Virginian," etc.

_Boards, 16mo, 50 cents_

The author of "The Virginian" has written a new book which describes,
more forcibly and clearly than any other account so far published, the
meaning, to America, of the tragic changes which are taking place in the
hearts and minds of the German people.

Written with ease and charm of style, it is prose that holds the reader
for its very beauty, even as it impresses him with its force. It is
doubtful whether there will come out of the entire mass of war
literature a more understanding or suggestive survey.

"Owen Wister has depicted the tragedy of Germany and has hinted at the
possible tragedy of the United States.... We wish it could be read in
full by every American."--_The Outlook._
