Happy House
By BARONESS VON HUTTEN
Author of “Sharrow” (48th Thousand), etc.
“Happy House” in Hampstead is a delightful sunny place in a garden, and the scene of a story full of dramatic incident.
Old Mrs. Mellish, the chief character of the book, is a vivid creation, the utter unexpectedness of her final action is the distinctive feature of this new novel by a well-known writer.
The Beach of Dreams
By H. de VERE STACPOOLE
Author of “The Blue Lagoon,” “The Pearl Fishers,” etc.
Mr. Stacpoole has no rivals in his own particular field, and “The Beach of Dreams” will certainly increase his popularity. It rivals in interest his famous stories, “The Blue Lagoon,” and “The Pearl Fishers,” and may be said to show even greater power and psychological insight. His descriptive writing is as vivid as ever; we hear the roar of the “Wooley” and of the breakers on the cliffs of Kerguelen, we see Cléo de Bronsart and Raft huddled together on a ledge, with the hungry waves below and the mighty cliffs above, and we thrill to Raft’s fight with Chang and Cléo’s intervention, which turns the day. A most exciting story with a great surprise at the end.
