s of feeling, fancy, tenderness, or
whimsicality. A merry thing in prose."--_St. Louis Democrat._

ROSE O' THE RIVER. By Kate Douglas Wiggin. With illustrations 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._
