Richmond, Grace S. [Indifference of Juliet.] [†]$1.50. Doubleday.
An “account of Juliet’s repeated refusals of a nice, tall, broad-shouldered young man named Anthony. Anthony had been rich, but unfortunately lost all his money. Nevertheless he continued to love Juliet.... At last, goaded to desperation, he worked out a pretty little plan of arousing the lady’s jealousy, which was quite successful. With Juliet’s aid he fitted and furnished a dear little box of a house in the country, ostensibly for a lovely California girl.... After it was all ready for its new mistress Juliet permitted herself the luxury of going over it all alone one evening and crying. And there Anthony found her. But this is not the end of the story. In fact it is only the beginning, and several other romances crop up before it is finished.”—N. Y. Times.

Rickert, Edith. Reaper. [†]$1.50. Houghton.
A story of the primitive life of the Shetland islands where the sea is “the great fact of life.” The hero reaps his harvest of content after years spent in patient service to a widowed mother, whose fondness for drink he strives by eternal vigilance to hide from others. The call of the sea is forever in his ears, but in the end, when he is free to go, he finds that the desire is conquered and his real happiness lies at home in the love of a woman and a little child.
