mark him a good mixer with men, a keen observer, and a skillful adept with the pen. _By the Same Author_ With the Russian Pilgrims to Jerusalem _Decorated cloth, 8vo, illustrated, $2.75 net_ The journey of the Russian peasants to Jerusalem has never been described before in any language, not even in Russian. Yet it is the most significant thing in the Russian life to-day. In the story lies a great national epic. A Tramp's Sketches _Cloth, 8vo, illustrated, $1.75 net_ "Mr. Graham has seen many interesting parts of the world, and he tells of his travels in a pleasing way."--_Suburban Life._ NEW MACMILLAN FICTION The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman By H. G. WELLS. _Cloth, 12mo. $1.50 net._ The name of H. G. Wells upon a title page is an assurance of merit. It is a guarantee that on the pages which follow will be found an absorbing story told with master skill. In the present book Mr. Wells surpasses even his previous efforts. He is writing of modern society life, particularly of one very charming young woman, Lady Harman, who finds herself so bound in by conventions, so hampered by restrictions, largely those of a well intentioned but short sighted husband, that she is ultimately moved to revolt. The real meaning of this revolt, its effect upon her life and those of her associates are narrated by one who goes beneath the surface in his analysis of human motives. In the group of characters, writers, suffragists, labor organizers, social workers and society lights surrounding Lady Harman, and in the dramatic incidents which compose the years of her existence which are described by Mr. Wells, there is a novel which is significant in its interpretation of the trend of affairs today, and fascinatingly interesting as fiction. It is Mr. Wells at his best. Saturday's Child BY KATHLEEN NORRIS Author of "Mother," "The Treasure," etc. WITH FRONTISPIECE IN COLORS BY F. GRAHAM COOTES _Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.50 net_ "A more ambitious piece of work than any Mrs. Norris has before attempted. It has the same qualities of sincerity and humor which have helped to make her former stories popular.... Mrs. Norris's admirers will find this new book greatly to their liking."--_New York Times._ "This story will have a long and healthful period of popularity. Like 'Mother,' this new book has a heart in it. Like 'The Rich Mrs. Burgoyne,' it has knowledge of life and an informed conception of living
