HUBERT WALES
This is a story of the delicate problem which confronts the sexes: the moral attitude and welfare of men and women. The author has chosen an infrequently considered phase, and has dared to treat it graphically.
The characters are strong, attractive and always interesting. The problem of which the story treats is vividly and fearlessly laid before the reader. A more subtle insinuation of the question may have been possible, but the author has felt that there can be no indelicacy in a straightforward, serious discussion of an existing evil condition.

Mr. & Mrs. Villiers
A NOVEL BY
HUBERT WALES
Man is naturally the aggressor in the connubial relations. His desires and passions are more positive than woman’s. Women of unusual mental and physical charms are often found renitent and lacking in the disposition which makes for perfect conjugal happiness. Such women have little difficulty in marrying, although entirely unfitted for the marriage relation. Mrs. Villiers is a woman of this type.
The story is a fair and legitimate study of opposite temperaments. It is intensely realistic, and the difficult problem, which is by no means rare in real life, has been handled with dignity and with such restraint as not to offend.
