Miss Frances Baird, Detective
By Reginald Wright Kauffman, author of "Jarvis of Harvard," etc.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative $1.25
A double robbery and a murder have given Mr. Kauffman the material for his clever detective story. Miss Baird tells how she finally solved the mystery, and how she outwitted the other detective at work on the case, by her woman's intuition and sympathy, when her reputation for keenness and efficiency was hanging in the balance.
The Idlers
By Morley Roberts, author of "Rachel Marr," "Lady Penelope," etc.
With frontispiece in colour by John C. Frohn $1.50
The London Literary World says: "In 'The Idlers' Mr. Morley Roberts does for the smart set of London what Mrs. Wharton has done in 'The House of Mirth' for the American social class of the same name. His primary object seems to be realism, the portrayal of life as it is without exaggeration, and we were impressed by the reserve displayed by the novelist. It is a powerful novel, a merciless dissection of modern society similar to that which a skilful surgeon would make of a pathological case."
The New York Sun says: "It is as absorbing as the devil. Mr. Roberts gives us the antithesis of 'Rachel Marr' in an equally masterful and convincing work."
