A deliciously funny book.—­Chicago Tribune.

There is a laugh on nearly every page.—­New York Times.

Most decidedly an unusual story.  The dialogue is nothing if not original, and the characters are very unique.  There is something striking on every page of the book.—­Newark Advertiser.

A more vivacious light novel could not be found.—­Chicago

An Ingenious and Engrossing Romance

THE PRINCESS THORA

By HARRIS BURLAND

Author of “Dacobra.”  Illustrated. 12mo. $1.50

A remarkably absorbing romance, conceived and planned with fine imagination, yet carried out with all the vivid actuality and plausibility of the most prosaic “detective” story.  The nearest counterpart of this engrossing and very unusual narrative is perhaps to be found in the work that first made Rider Haggard famous, though the story owes literally nothing to anything that has gone before, so startlingly novel is its theme and so boldly convincing is its execution.

A Romance of Early Michigan

THE WOLVERINE

By ALBERT L. LAWRENCE

Illustrated. 12mo. $1.50

A spirited story of love and politics, with its scenes laid in Detroit just before Michigan became a state, and when disputes over the Ohio boundary line nearly led to open warfare.  Perry North, a young surveyor of Puritan ideas, is sent to Detroit when he falls in love with Marie Beaucoeur, a charming French girl, of the Catholic faith.  The English and French characters are strongly contrasted, the incidents are novel, and the story makes a continuous impression of actuality.

Richard Le Gallienne’s New Book

PAINTED SHADOWS

By the Author of “The Love-Letters of the King,” etc.

12mo. $1.50

Mr. Le Gallienne’s new book displays in a remarkable degree his fine imagination, charming style, and the high quality of his verse.  “The Youth of Lady Constantia,” “The Wandering Home,” “The Shadow of the Rose,” “Beauty’s Portmanteau,” and “Old Silver” are equal to his best work, and the story which bears the title “Poet take Thy Lute” will appeal especially to those who love what is best and most beautiful in literature.

The Heroine with the Marvellous Voice

SWEET PEGGY

By LINNIE SARAH HARRIS

With frontispiece. 12mo. $1.50

A summer idyll, with love, music, and nature for its themes, and the mountains and lakes for its scenes.  The heroine, Peggy, is charming, fresh, and unconventional, with a genuine love for song.  The country neighbors with their peculiarities give touches of both humor and pathos to this appealing story.
