The End
By MAY SINCLAIR
THE HELPMATE
_The Literary Digest_ says: "The novels of May Sinclair make waste paper of most of the fiction of a season." This new story, the first written since "The Divine Fire," will strengthen the author"s reputation.
It has been serialized in _The Atlantic Monthly_, and _The New York Sun_ says of an early instalment:
"Miss Sinclair"s new novel, "The Helpmate," is attracting much attention.
It is a miniature painting of delicacy and skill, reproducing few characters in a small s.p.a.ce, with fine sincerity,--the invalid sister, the man with a past, and the wife with strict convictions. The riddle is to find which one of the women is the helpmate. In the vital situation thus far developed the sister is leading in the race."
As the plot develops the canvas is filled in with other characters as finely drawn. The story grips the reader. Lovers of good literature and of a good story will delight in its development.
THE DIVINE FIRE
The story of the regeneration of a London poet and the degeneration of a London critic. 15th printing.
MARY MOSS in the _Atlantic Monthly_: "Certain it is that in all our new fiction I have found nothing worthy to compare with "The Divine Fire," nothing even remotely approaching the same cla.s.s."
AUDREY CRAVEN
The story of a pretty little woman with the soul of a spoiled child, who had a fatal fascination for most men.
_Literary Digest_: "Humor is of the spontaneous sort and rings true, and the lancet of her wit and epigram, tho keen, is never cruel.... An author whose novels may be said to make waste paper of most of the fiction of a season."
SUPERSEDED
The story of two highly contrasted teachers in a girls" school.
_New York Sun_: "It makes one wonder if in future years the quiet little English woman may not be recognized as a new Jane Austen."
THE TYSONS
(MR. AND MRS. NEVILL TYSON)
_Chicago Record-Herald_: "Maintains a clinging grip upon the mind and senses, compelling one to acknowledge the author"s genius."
