This great international romance relates the story of an American girl
who, in rescuing her sister from the ruins of her marriage to an
Englishman of title, displays splendid qualities of courage, tact and
restraint. As a study of American womanhood of modern times, the
character of Bettina Vanderpoel stands alone in literature. As a love
story, the account of her experience is magnificent. The masterly
handling, the glowing style of the book, give it a literary rank to
which very few modern novels have attained.
THE MAKING OF A MARCHIONESS, By Frances Hodgson Burnett
Illustrated with half tone engravings by Charles D. Williams. With
initial letters, tail-pieces, decorative borders. Beautifully printed,
and daintily bound, and boxed.
A delightful novel in the author's most charming vein. The scene is
laid in an English country house, where an amiable English nobleman is
the centre of matrimonial interest on the part of both the English and
Americans present.
Graceful, sprightly, almost delicious in its dialogue and action. It is
a book about which one is tempted to write ecstatically.
THE METHODS OF LADY WALDERHURST, By Francis Hodgson Burnett
A Companion Volume to "The Making of Marchioness."
With illustrations by Charles D. Williams, and with initial letters,
tail-pieces, and borders, by A. K. Womrath. Beautifully printed and
daintily bound, and boxed.
"The Methods of Lady Walderhurst" is a delightful story which combines
the sweetness of "The Making of a Marchioness," with the dramatic
qualities of "A Lady of Quality." Lady Walderhurst is one of the most
charming characters in modern fiction.
VAYENNE, By Percy Brebner
With illustrations by E. Fuhr.
This romance like the author's _The Princess Maritza_ is charged to the
brim with adventure. Sword play, bloodshed, justice grown the
multitude, sacrifice, and romance, mingle in dramatic episodes that are
born, flourish, and pass away on every page.
