xtravagant world of fashion throwing
out disjointed hints of vice and intrigue in messages handed in as
indifferently as if the operator were only part of the machine.
Nevertheless, she is a woman, too, and feminine interest and curiosity
so quicken her wits that she is able to piece together "the high
encounter with life, the large and complicated game" of her customers.
This, in fact, is the romance in her life, the awakening touch to her
imagination, and it is brought into skilful contrast with the
passionless commonplace of her own love.--_Academy_.

12mo. Cloth. Uniform with "What Maisie Knew." $1.25.

WHAT MAISIE KNEW: A NOVEL

Henry James's masterpiece.--_Chicago Times-Herald_.

It will rank as one of his most notable achievements.--_New York Sun_.

The book contains some of the author's cleverest dialogue.--_New York
Tribune_.

"What Maisie Knew," taken all in all, contains some of the keenest,
most profound analysis which has yet come from the pen of that subtle
writer. There is no question that Henry James's latest work will
sell.--_New York Commercial Advertiser_.

It is quite impossible to ignore that, if the word have any
significance and is ever to be used at all, we are here dealing with
genius. This is a work of genius as much as Mr. Meredith's best
work.--_Pall Mall Gazette_.

12mo. Third impression. $1.50.
