The Earth and the Fullness Thereof
A Tale of Styria. By Peter Rosegger, author of "The Forest Schoolmaster," "The God Seeker," etc. Authorized English Version by Frances E. Skinner.
12° $1.50
There is, throughout, that same sweet recognition of the beautiful in life, even where human existence is the most squalid, that gave a wonderful quality to "The Forest Schoolmaster." And there is a true pleasure in the story's happy conclusion that is born of no playwriter's trick, but of a sense of the eternal justice of things.
Fame for a Woman
or, Splendid Mourning. By Cranstoun Metcalfe. With Frontispiece by Adolf Thiede.
12°. (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 preeminence among so-called Bohemians.
