BY REBECCA HARDING DAVIS
FRANCES WALDEAUX. A Novel. Illustrated by T. de Thulstrup. Post 8vo. Cloth, Ornamental, $1 25.
A capital novel, of the modern, vivacious type.... The minor characters of the story furnish no stint of witty interplay as they sojourn through Europe, and the keen thrusts and captious hits at the European nobility and American ambitions make truly racy reading.—Boston Transcript.
It grows in interest from chapter to chapter, and retains its grasp on the absorbed attention from beginning to end. This ought to prove one of the most successful stories of the year.—Philadelphia Press. "Frances Waldeaux" shows admirable literary reticence and good character-drawing. The author never reveals her plot prematurely, and the book therefore holds the interest to the last. And she makes living beings of her characters.—Chicago Tribune.
DOCTOR WARRICK'S DAUGHTERS. A Novel. Illustrated by Clifford Carleton. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 50.
A very enjoyable story, ... written in a sprightly tone, with here and there a touch of delightfully amiable banter.... The characters are strong and drawn effectively.—Independent, N. Y.
A story of unusual merit. Its success is in its plot, though its descriptions and its characters are handled with a firm and intelligent grasp.—Boston Journal.
A thoroughly interesting story; more than that, an absorbing one. There is a real vitality about the characters and the situations that fascinates one.—Living Church, Chicago.
The reader will be at once struck with the freshness of the author's theme and of her method.... One of the best novels of the day.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
