By Myrtle Reed. 12o, gilt top $1.75
“It was with considerable hesitation that Myrtle Reed’s second volume of a musician’s love letters was taken up, a natural inference being that Miss Reed could scarcely hope to repeat her first success. Yet that she has equalled, if not surpassed, the interest of her earlier letters is soon apparent. Here will be found the same delicate fancy, the same beautiful imagery, and the same musical phrases from well-known composers, introducing the several chapters, and giving the key to their various moods. Miss Reed has accomplished her purpose successfully in both series of the letters.”—N. Y. Times Saturday Review.
The Diary of a Dreamer
By Alice Dew-Smith, author of “Soul Shapes,” “A White Umbrella,” etc. 12o, gilt top $1.50
“A book to be read as a sedative by the busy and overworked. The scene is laid in England, and is bathed in a peculiarly English atmosphere of peace and leisure. Contains much domestic philosophy of a pleasing if not very original sort, and, incidentally, no little good-natured social satire.”—N. Y. Evening Post.
“This is a book of the meditative order. The writer expresses her thoughts in a manner that is a delightful reminder of ‘Reveries of a Bachelor’ of Ike Marvel.... In parts it is amusing, in the manner of Mark Twain’s ‘Sketches.’ The combination of humor and sensible reflection results to the reader’s delight.”—Albany Times Union.
“‘The Diary of a Dreamer’ is a charming treatment of the everyday topics of life. As in ‘Reveries of a Bachelor’ and ‘Elizabeth and her German Garden,’ we find an engaging presentation, from the feminine point of view, of the scenes and events that make up the daily living. The ‘Diary’ is one of those revelations of thought and feeling that fit so well into the reader’s individual experience.”—Detroit Free Press.
