Odds and Ends
By B. M. CROKER
Author of “Blue China,” etc.
Mrs. Croker’s signature is a hall-mark of excellence of workmanship, and that excellence is maintained in this delightful collection of her stories, some grave, some gay, and all showing the master hand.
The reader will be delighted with the variety of subject and mood and the finish of style. While the majority of the scenes are laid in her beloved Ireland, India furnishes the background for some of the most amusing as well as tragic incidents. A book that every admirer of Mrs. Croker will welcome with enthusiasm.
The Chinese Puzzle
By MARIAN BOWER and LEON M. LION
The Novel of the famous Play
This remarkable story will make as strong an appeal in novel form as it has done as a play.
There is tension throughout and clever characterization. All the persons in the tale are as vivid as on the stage, and the style is distinguished.
