In "The Heroine in Bronze" Mr. Allen has written with exquisite felicity
of thought and expression a novel that is unique and powerful. The story
of a young man,--a writer,--the women he loves, and the great novel he
writes, is the design threading a background which reveals Mr. Allen's
profound understanding of life and his high spirituality. "The Heroine
in Bronze" is the most vital contribution to American literature in
recent years.

A BEAUTIFUL EDITION OF A BEAUTIFUL STORY

The Christmas Edition of Kathleen Norris's
MOTHER

Decorated cloth, 12mo, illustrations, $1.25; by mail, $1.36

"A little book that can be finished in an hour, but the sweet thoughts
will remain in the mind long after the book has been set aside....
Before I had covered ten pages I realized that I had something worth its
weight in gold. What theme could be more interesting to the ordinary
reader than 'Mother,' especially when it is a panegyric on maternal
devotion? The author was fortunate in her selection and still happier in
her treatment of it, for if there is anything that appeals, it is a true
loyal discussion of mother and mother-love. In modern fiction we have
too little of the chastening and purifying presence of real motherhood.
Few books have the power of recalling worthy thoughts with the force and
with the good effect possessed by this little book."--_Catholic
Columbian_.

Some of the previous issues of this great book were thought to be
beautiful, but none of them seems so now in comparison with the latest
one, the make-up of which is distinguished by a number of features. In

each chapter are printed in colors and decorated with head pieces and
drawings, while every other two pages carry black and white half to
