THE PLACE OF HONEYMOONS. By Harold MacGrath.
Courtlandt, the young American hero, is a typical MacGrath creation. He is past thirty, without a wife, and so rich that he cannot get rid of his money fast enough. No love plot was ever more original.

This story is destined to make a strong appeal to every human heart. Everyone is sure to love Aunt Jane and her neighbors, her quilts and her flowers, her stories and her quaint, tender philosophy.
THE POSTMASTER. By Joseph C. Lincoln.
"The Postmaster" has more pure fun in it than anything Mr. Lincoln has written recently. The episode where the Christian Science lady meets the nervous old gentleman in the home of the spiritualist is uproarious.
TRUTH DEXTER. By Sidney McCall.
The novel bears the unmistakable imprint of genius.... Truth Dexter, the heroine, is one of the most lovable women in fiction—pure, worshipful, worthy and thoroughly womanly—the woman who makes a heaven of earth.

MISS GIBBIE GAULT. By Kate Langley Bosher.
To read a book like this is like taking a sun-bath. No one will finish the book without thanking the author for the keen pleasure it has given, and the vision of something good in human nature that it has brought before them.
THE ONE-WAY TRAIL. By Ridgwell Cullum.
This is a wholesome story of life and love in Montana, with real men and women, a strong plot and thrilling situations. Intensely interesting from beginning to end.
THE GUESTS OF HERCULES. By C. N. and A. M. Williamson.
This is a story of the Riviera and Monte Carlo—and a clever and rather complicated plot. The girl is particularly unusual and piquant, the man more than ever loverlike and fascinating.

This is the story of a charming, whole-hearted girl, who leaving an Eastern school joins her father at a military post in Kansas during the Indian wars of 1868.
TO M. L. G., OR ONE WHO PASSED.

AUNT JANE
OF KENTUCKY
By ELIZA CALVERT HALL
With Aunt Jane a real personage has come into literature.
In this dear old philosopher in homespun—with her patchwork quilts, which were her albums and diary, and in the midst of her garden, where each "flower was a human thing with a life-story"—we seem to renew acquaintance with a character which each of us has known and loved back in our own gardens of memory.
Where so many have made caricatures of old-time country folk, Eliza Calvert Hall has caught at once the real charm, the real spirit, the real people, and the real joy of living which was theirs.

"The Land of Long Ago," in which reappears that famous character, "Aunt Jane of Kentucky," is a delightful picture of rural life in the Blue Grass country, showing the real charm and spirit of the old time country folk—a book full of sentiment and kindliness and high ideals. It cannot fail to appeal to every reader by reason of its sunny humor, its sweetness and sincerity, its entire fidelity to life. Aunt Jane with her calm philosophy, her captivating stories, her sweet, womanly ways, is a character that wins the reader at once.
