“This is a very delightful story, told in the broadest and most fascinating Scotch language.  The author belongs of right to that class of modern Scotch writers who bring out matters of vital human interest, with religious and tender touches, and this story is one that any writer might be proud of and any reader of feeling and vitality must delight in.”—­Journal and Messenger.

YANG PING YU

The Love Story of a Maiden of Cathay

Told in Letters from Yang Ping Yu.  Finely decorated boards, net 50c.

Written in English picturesquely colored with Chinese, at once naive and yet full of worldly wisdom, frank and yet discreetly reserved.  The story as told in the letters is real, vivid, convincing.  It is a human document that will compel the attention of the reader from beginning to end, and verify again the saying that “truth is stranger than fiction.”

MARION BLYTHE

An American Bride in Porto Rico

Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.00.

“The story is very pleasant and very human.  In her bravery and courage, in her wit and merriment, the bride reminds one somewhat of the “Lady of the Decoration.”  This similarity adds, however, rather than detracts from the charm of the book.  She is thoroughly good-natured and clever and companionable, with a whimsical and ever-present sense of humor.”—­Chicago Evening Post.
