THE REBELLION OF THE PRINCESS

A book that is a story, and never loses the quick, on-rushing,
inevitable quality of a story from the first page to the last. Stirring,
exciting, romantic, satisfying all the essential requirements of a
novel. The scene is laid in Moscow at the time of the election of Peter
the Great, when the intrigues of rival parties overturned the existing
government, and the meeting of the National Guard made the city the
scene of a hideous riot. It resembles in some points Miss Taylor's
successful first story, "On the Red Staircase," especially in the date,
the principal scenes and the fact that the hero is a French nobleman.

LEES AND LEAVEN

No novel of New York City has ever portrayed so faithfully or so vividly
our new world Gotham--the seething, rushing New York of to-day, to which
all the world looks with such curious interest. Mr. Townsend, gives us
not a picture, but the bustling, nerve-racking pageant itself. The titan
struggles in the world of finance, the huge hoaxes in sensational
news-paperdom, the gay life of the theatre, opera, and restaurant, and
then the calmer and comforting domestic scenes of wholesome living,
pass, as actualities, before our very eyes. In this turbulent maelstrom
of ambition, he finds room for love and romance also.

There is a bountiful array of characters, admirably drawn, and
especially delightful are the two emotional and excitable lovers, young
Bannister and Gertrude Carr. The book is unlike Mr. Townsend's "Chimmie
Fadden" in everything but its intimate knowledge of New York life.

FLOWER O' THE CORN

Mr. Crockett has made an interesting novel of romance and intrigue. He
has chosen a little town in the south of France, high up in the
mountains, as the scene for his drama. The plot deals with a group of
Calvinists who have been driven from Belgium into southern France, where
they are besieged in their mountain fastness by the French troops. A
number of historical characters figure in the book, among them Madame de
Maintenon.

"Flower o' the Corn" is probably one of Mr. Crockett's most deligh
