Judy Bettington was the Mayoress of Midboro’, a dazzling beauty in a Paris hat. How she adopted Peter Barham as a friend, whether he was really so platonic as he should have been, and what Thomas the Mayor had to say about it, is all told in the particularly entertaining, light-hearted style which Mrs. Tremlett has made quite her own. A most exhilarating story, with a smile on every page.
The Scent Shop
By PEGGY WEBLING
Author of “In Our Street,” etc.
In her ninth and latest novel Miss Webling tells a quaint story of London life. She uses her knowledge of the little-known forms of fine labour, in this case the old and exquisite art of scent-making, to form a picturesque background for a delightful romance. The characters are all entertaining, and are described in the author’s most attractive manner.
Peter Jackson, Cigar Merchant
By GILBERT FRANKAU
Author of “One of Them,” etc.
A romance of married life, a romance which resembles the life of many a couple. Strong and frank, a remarkable novel, is the opinion of a balanced reader. It is a story which will especially appeal to all who have passed the first bloom of married life and see how Peter and his wife found themselves and each other. A novel that will have a lasting success.
