DOCTOR LUKE OF THE LABRADOR. By Norman Duncan. With a frontispiece and inlay cover.
How the doctor came to the bleak Labrador coast and there in saving
life made expiation. In dignity, simplicity, humor, in sympathetic
etching of a sturdy fisher people, and above all in the echoes of
the sea, Doctor Luke is worthy of great praise. Character, humor,
poignant pathos, and the sad grotesque conjunctions of old and new
civilizations are expressed through the medium of a style that has
distinction and strikes a note of rare personality.
THE DAY'S WORK. By Rudyard Kipling. Illustrated.
The London Morning Post says: "It would be hard to find better
reading * * * the book is so varied, so full of color and life from
end to end, that few who read the first two or three stories will
lay it down till they have read the last—and the last is a
veritable gem * * * contains some of the best of his highly vivid
work * * * Kipling is a born story-teller and a man of humor into
the bargain."
ELEANOR LEE. By Margaret E. Sangster. With a frontispiece.
A story of married life, and attractive picture of wedded bliss * *

love * * * no one who knows anything of marriage or parenthood can
read this story with eyes that are always dry * * * goes straight
to the heart of every one who knows the meaning of "love" and
"home."
THE COLONEL OF THE RED HUZZARS. By John Reed Scott. Illustrated by Clarence F. Underwood.
"Full of absorbing charm, sustained interest, and a wealth of
thrilling and romantic situations. "So naively fresh in its
handling, so plausible through its naturalness, that it comes like
a mountain breeze across the far-spreading desert of similar
romances."—Gazette-Times, Pittsburg. "A slap-dashing day
romance."—New York Sun.
