Author of “Irish Neighbours,” etc.
A natural and convincing Irish story by a familiar pen. Like all Miss Barlow’s novels, the characterization is particularly good.
A New Novel
By KATHLYN RHODES
Author of “The Lure of the Desert” (6th Edition).
Captain Moody, having been wounded in France, goes to Cornwall to spend three months’ leave alone with his young wife. Instead of the peace he expects, he is involved, through the agency of a woman, in strange and devastating happenings which lead perilously near to tragedy. Largely, however, through the wisdom of Deniss, his wife, the tragedy is averted, and the bridge which leads from disaster to security is safely negotiated.
A Sheaf of Bluebells
By BARONESS ORCZY
In this long and fascinating romance we read of the intrigues that are necessary for Madame la Marquise de Mortain to employ in her endeavour to control her son and to stop his factory for the making of arms. The manner in which this intricate plot is worked out is worthy of the author of “The Elusive Pimpernel”; and for sustained interest and for situations that will hold the reader in breathless excitement, “A Sheaf of Bluebells” bears a resemblance to Baroness Orczy’s greatest novel, now in its 314th thousand.
