reserve forces unsuspected. Sterling integrity of character and high
moral motives illuminate Dr. Eggleston's fiction, and assure its place
in the literature of America which is to stand as a worthy reflex of the
best thoughts of this age."--_New York World_.

"One of _the_ novels of the decade."--_Rochester Union and Advertiser_.

"It is extremely fortunate that the fine subject indicated in the title
should have fallen into such competent hands."--_Pittsburgh
Chronicle-Telegraph_.

"Much skill is shown by the author in making these 'fads' the basis of a

"A vivid and life-like transcript from several phases of society. Devoid
of literary affectation and pretense, it is a wholesome American novel,
well worthy of the popularity which it has won."--_Philadelphia

_A PURITAN PAGAN_. By JULIEN GORDON, author of "A Diplomat's Diary,"

"The author's recent books have made for her a secure place in current
literature, where she can stand fast.... Her latest production, 'A
