By Clara Louise Burnham, author of "Dearly Bought," "No Gentlemen," etc. $1.50.
"'Next Door' is a love story, pure and simple. The conversations are vivacious, with an exceptional charm. The tone of the book is refined and pure, and it will make itself an especial favorite among the summer novels."—Boston Traveller.
TWO COLLEGE GIRLS.
By Helen Dawes Brown. 12mo. $1.50.
"A really bright and fresh story.... The author has given happy expression in a buoyant spirit to a bit of real life of to-day."—New York Commercial Advertiser.
"It will undoubtedly receive great attention, from the fact that it has a value wholly aside from the usual literary value of fiction. It marks an era in American literary art."—Boston Traveller.
THE SPHINX'S CHILDREN.
By Rose Terry Cooke. 12mo. $1.50.
Delightful stories of hill-country life in the quaintest and most singular parts of New England, set forth with the sparkle and the realism of a Parisian feuilletonist.
"In spite of a style which is carefully clear and elegant, in spite of a tone that is wonderfully pure and healthy, what one remembers longest in Mrs. Cooke's writings is these dialect passages, forgetting for their sake her delectable descriptions of quaint, old-fashioned gardens, pretty girls, odd old maids, and odder old men, and even forgetting the bit of moral usually concealed in each story."—Boston Transcript.
