by George Wright. "'Rose o' the River,' a charming bit of sentiment, gracefully written and deftly touched with a gentle humor. It is a dainty book--daintily illustrated."--_New York Tribune_. "A wholesome, bright, refreshing story, an ideal book to give a young girl."--_Chicago Record-Herald_. "An idyllic story, replete with pathos and inimitable humor. As story-telling it is perfection, and as portrait-painting it is true to the life."--_London Mail_. TILLIE: A Mennonite Maid. By Helen R. Martin. With illustrations by Florence Scovel Shinn. The little "Mennonite Maid" who wanders through these pages is something quite new in fiction. Tillie is hungry for books and beauty and love; and she comes into her inheritance at the end. "Tillie is faulty, sensitive, big-hearted, eminently human, and first, last and always lovable. Her charm glows warmly, the story is well handled, the characters skilfully developed."--_The Book Buyer_. LADY ROSE'S DAUGHTER. By Mrs. Humphry Ward. With illustrations by Howard Chandler Christy. "The most marvellous work of its wonderful author."--_New York World_. "We touch regions and attain altitudes which it is not given to the ordinary novelist even to approach."--_London Times_. "In no other story has Mrs. Ward approached the brilliancy and vivacity of Lady Rose's Daughter."--_North American Review_. THE BANKER AND THE BEAR. By Henry K. Webster. "An exciting and absorbing story."--_New York Times_. "Intensely thrilling in parts, but an unusually good story all through. There is a love affair of real charm and most novel surroundings, there is a run on the bank which is almost worth a year's growth, and there is all manner of exhilarating men and deeds which should bring the book into high and permanent favor."--_Chicago Evening Post_.
