is attracting much attention.
It is a miniature painting of delicacy and skill, reproducing few
characters in a small space, with fine sincerity,--the invalid sister,
the man with a past, and the wife with strict convictions. The riddle is
to find which one of the women is the helpmate. In the vital situation
thus far developed the sister is leading in the race."

As the plot develops the canvas is filled in with other characters as
finely drawn. The story grips the reader. Lovers of good literature and
of a good story will delight in its development.

THE DIVINE FIRE

The story of the regeneration of a London poet and the degeneration of a
London critic. 15th printing.

MARY MOSS in the _Atlantic Monthly_: "Certain it is that in all
our new fiction I have found nothing worthy to compare with 'The Divine
Fire,' nothing even remotely approaching the same class."

AUDREY CRAVEN

The story of a pretty little woman with the soul of a spoiled child, who
had a fatal fascination for most men.

_Literary Digest_: "Humor is of the spontaneous sort and rings true, and
the lancet of her wit and epigram, tho keen, is never cruel.... An author
whose novels may be said to make waste paper of most of the fiction of a
season."

SUPERSEDED

The story of two highly contrasted teachers in a girls' school.

_New York Sun_: "It makes one wonder if in future years the quiet little
English woman may not be recognized as a new Jane Austen."

THE TYSONS

(MR. AND MRS. NEVILL TYSON)

_Chicago Record-Herald_: "Maintains a clinging grip upon the
mind and senses, compelling one to acknowledge the author's
genius."
