AT THE FOOT OF THE RAINBOW, By Gene Stratton-Porter Author of "FRECKLES"
With ill.u.s.trations in color by Oliver Kemp, decorations by Ralph Fletcher Seymour and inlay cover in colors.
The story is one of devoted friendship, and tender self-sacrificing love; the friendship that gives freely without return, and the love that seeks first the happiness of the object. The novel is brimful of the most beautiful word painting of nature and its pathos and tender sentiment will endear it to all.
JUDITH OF THE c.u.mBERLANDS, By Alice MacGowan
With ill.u.s.trations in colors, and inlay cover by George Wright.
No one can fail to enjoy this moving tale with its lovely and ardent heroine, its frank, fearless hero, its glowing love pa.s.sages, and its variety of characters, captivating or engaging humorous or saturnine, villains, rascals, and men of good will. A tale strong and interesting in plot, faithful and vivid as a picture of wild mountain life, and in its characterization full of warmth and glow.
A MILLION A MINUTE, By Hudson Douglas
With ill.u.s.trations by Will Grefe.
Has the catchiest of t.i.tles, and it is a ripping good tale from Chapter I to Finis--no weighty problems to be solved, but just a fine running story, full of exciting incidents, that never seemed strained or improbable. It is a dainty love yarn involving three men and a girl.
There is not a dull or trite situation in the book.

LIGHT-FINGERED GENTRY. By David Graham Phillips
With ill.u.s.trations.
Mr. Phillips has chosen the inside workings of the great insurance companies as his field of battle; the salons of the great Fifth Avenue mansions as the antechambers of his field of intrigue; and the two things which every natural, big man desires, love and success, as the goal of his leading character. The book is full of practical philosophy, which makes it worth careful reading.
THE SECOND GENERATION, By David Graham Phillips
With ill.u.s.trations by Fletcher C. Ramson, and inlay cover.

A strong, wholsome story of contemporary American life--thoughtful, well-conceived and admirably written; forceful, sincere, and true; and intensely interesting."--_Boston Herald._
