SITATES. By Harris Dickson. Illustrated by C. W. Relyea. The scene of this dashing romance shifts from Dresden to St. Petersburg in the reign of Peter the Great, and then to New Orleans. The hero is a French Soldier of Fortune, and the princess, who hesitates--but you must read the story to know how she that hesitates may be lost and yet saved. GROSSET & DUNLAP, 526 WEST 26th ST., NEW YORK A FEW OF GROSSET & DUNLAP'S Great Books at Little Prices HAPPY HAWKINS. By Robert Alexander Wason. Illustrated by Howard Giles. A ranch and cowboy novel. Happy Hawkins tells his own story with such a fine capacity for knowing how to do it and with so much humor that the reader's interest is held in surprise, then admiration and at last in positive affection. COMRADES. By Thomas Dixon, Jr. Illustrated by C. D. Williams. The locale of this story is in California, where a few socialists establish a little community. The author leads the little band along the path of disillusionment, and gives some brilliant flashes of light on one side of an important question. TONO-BUNGAY. By Herbert George Wells.

The "Helen" of the story is a Greek, beautiful, desolate, defiant--pure as snow. There is a certain new force about the story, a kind of master-craftsmanship and mental dominance that holds the reader. THE MASTER OF APPLEBY. By Francis Lynde. Illustrated by T. de Thulstrup.
