THE MAKING OF A MARCHIONESS, By Frances Hodgson Burnett
Illustrated with half tone engravings by Charles D. Williams. With
initial letters, tail-pieces, decorative borders. Beautifully printed,
and daintily bound, and boxed.
A delightful novel in the author's most
charming vein. The scene is laid in an English
country house, where an amiable English
nobleman is the centre of matrimonial interest
on the part of both the English and Americans
present.
Graceful, sprightly, almost delicious in its
dialogue and action. It is a book about which
one is tempted to write ecstatically.

A Companion Volume to "The Making of a Marchioness."
With illustrations by Charles D. Williams, and with initial letters,

daintily bound, and boxed.
"The Methods of Lady Walderhurst" is a
delightful story which combines the sweetness
of "The Making of a Marchioness," with the
dramatic qualities of "A Lady of Quality." Lady
Walderhurst is one of the most charming
characters in modern fiction.
VAYENNE, By Percy Brebner With illustrations by E. Fuhr.

Sword play, bloodshed, justice grown the
multitude, sacrifice, and romance, mingle in
dramatic episodes that are born, flourish, and
pass away on every page.

philosopher, and man of mystery. Learned,
strong, kindly, dignified, he towers like a
giant above the people among whom he lives. It

the odor of wood and field. Wit, humor, pathos
and high thinking are in this book."--_Boston
