Boston Transcript_, the last of which says: "Fine types of men ... the five women are magnificent creatures.... Always the story carries itself, but always it is pregnant with the larger suggestion, which gives it its place in feminist literature." PHOEBE AND ERNEST With 30 illustrations by R. F. SCHABELITZ. $1.35 net. Parents will recognize themselves in the story, and laugh understandingly with, and sometimes at, Mr. and Mrs. Martin and their children, Phoebe and Ernest. "We must go back to Louisa Alcott for their equals."--_Boston Advertiser._ "For young and old alike we know of no more refreshing story."--_New York Evening Post._ PHOEBE, ERNEST, AND CUPID Illustrated by R. F. SCHABELITZ. $1.35 net. In this sequel to the popular "Phoebe and Ernest," each of these delightful young folk goes to the altar. "To all jaded readers of problem novels, to all weary wayfarers on the rocky literary road of social pessimism and domestic woe, we recommend 'Phoebe, Ernest, and Cupid' with all our hearts: it is not only cheerful, it's true."--_N. Y. Times Review._ "Wholesome, merry, absolutely true to life."--_The Outlook._ JANEY Illustrated by ADA C. WILLIAMSON. $1.25 net. "Being the record of a short interval in the journey thru life and the struggle with society of a little girl of nine." "Depicts youthful human nature as one who knows and loves it. Her 'Phoebe and Ernest' studies are deservedly popular, and now, in 'Janey,' this clever writer has accomplished an equally charming portrait."--_Chicago Record-Herald._ WILLIAM DE MORGAN'S NOVELS "WHY ALL THIS POPULARITY?" asks E. V. LUCAS, writing in the _Outlook_ of De Morgan's Novels. He answers: De Morgan is "almost the perfect example of the humorist; certainly the completest since Lamb.... Humor, however, is not all.... In the De Morgan world it is hard to find an unattractive figure.... The charm of the young women, all brave and humorous and gay, and all trailing clouds of glory from the fairyland from which they have just come." JOSEPH VANCE The story of a great sacrifice and a life-long love. "The book of the last decade; the best thing in fiction since Mr. Meredith and Mr. Hardy; must take its place as the first great English novel that has appeared in the twentieth century."--LEWIS MELVILLE in _New York Times Saturday Review_. ALICE-FOR-SHOR
