The Shadow of Victory
A Romance of Fort Dearborn (early Chicago). By Myrtle Reed.
12o. With frontispiece net, $1.20
Full crimson morocco, gilt top net, $2.00
Miss Reed’s new novel is pre-eminently a love story, portraying a true woman whose lot was cast, not in the drawing-room or in the salon, but in the wilderness, where the only representatives of civilization and culture were the rude fort and the true hearts that garrisoned it. Beatrice is fascinating, possessing all the sweet caprices of woman, with woman’s strength in time of need, while the hero is a man whose character must appeal to every true woman.
Fame for a Woman
or, Splendid Mourning. By Cranstoun Metcalfe. With Frontispiece by Adolf Thiede.
12o. (By mail, $1.35) net, $1.20
Madame de Staël wrote: “Fame is for women only a splendid mourning for happiness”; Mr. Metcalfe tells us how a sweet little woman, whose world is little bigger than her husband, loses that perspective by contact with the superficially clever young literary set in London. She is persuaded to write, and her writing is attended with success, such as it is,—the sort of success which means much figuring in “literary notes,” interviews describing the privacy of one’s fireside, and pre-eminence among so-called Bohemians.
