Like her most successful stories, "Marcia Schuyler" and "Phoebe Deane," Mrs. Lutz's new novel is set in New York State about 1826—quaint old days of poke bonnets and full skirts.
It is a refreshingly sweet and charming story and the author has created in Dawn, a gentle appealing heroine, whose tangled romance only serves to make more happy the beautiful ending when all the threads of Dawn's life are straightened out.
Phoebe Deane
Frontispiece in color and five illustrations from paintings by E.L. HENRY, N.A. 12mo. Cloth, with medallion, $1.50.
Few present-day books are so thoroughly wholesome, fresh and charming as this quiet, old-fashioned romance, as refreshingly sweet as the name of its heroine.
Phoebe Deane, a motherless girl, meets the trials of a life of dependence, and an unwelcome suitor, with a brave, sweet spirit. In spite of deceit and treachery, her lover at last comes to her rescue, and her happiness is assured.
Marcia Schuyler
Frontispiece in color by ANNA WHELAN BETTS, and six illustrations from paintings by E.L. HENRY, N.A. Fifth edition. 12mo. Cloth, with medallion, $1.50.
The story opens upon the wedding preparations for the marriage of winsome, wilful Kate to strong and good David. Complications arise by which David marries her younger sister Marcia instead and it is only after a period of trials and heartaches that Marcia wins her husband's love when he comes to understand her worthiness and Kate's heartless frivolity and duplicity. The Chicago Tribune pronounces Marcia "One of the most lovable heroines that ever lived her life in the pages of a romance."
