NEW FICTION

The Benefactress

By the Author of
"Elizabeth and her German Garden," "The Solitary Summer," etc.

Cloth. 12 mo. $1.50


A new novel by this charming writer, who so cleverly kept the secret of her personality, is sure to be widely enjoyed by those who read the entertaining chronicles already issued of her garden by the Baltic, of the three quaint April, May, and June Babies, of the Man of Wrath, and of Elizabeth's own original ideas.

"The Benefactress" is a young English woman who has a fortune left her by a German relative. She takes up her property in Germany and lives there. The story of her life in the German village is told with unfailing humor, as might have been expected of the woman who found such a fund of delicious entertainment in what would have been to most an exile of the extremest dulness.




The Real World

By ROBERT HERRICK

Author of "The Gospel of Freedom," "The Web of Life," etc.

Cloth. 12mo. $1.50

The chief woman in this new novel by Mr. Herrick is the daughter of an Ohio manufacturer, and the plot is developed through the story of a young man's life. The underlying idea is eternally old: that the world does not exist until created afresh for each person. The way the hero makes his own world forms the pith of the story, the scene of which moves back and forth between the East and the West.
