."--_New York World._ "'Saturday's Child' is a study of young energy--its struggles, its groping for use, for a place, and an achievement in the world of men and women--and a study, moreover, of marked ability and sympathy.... The effect is absolutely tonic.... It is a book to commend to all women."--_Louisville Post._ The Game of Life and Death _Stories of the Sea_ BY LINCOLN COLCORD Author of "The Drifting Diamond," etc. WITH FRONTISPIECE _Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net_ Upon the appearance of Mr. Colcord's "The Drifting Diamond," critics throughout the country had a great deal to say on the pictures of the sea which it contained. Mr. Colcord was compared to Conrad, to Stevenson, and to others who have written of the sea with much success. It is gratifying, therefore, that in this book the briny deep furnishes the background--in some instances the plot itself--for each one of its eleven tales. Coupled with his own intimate knowledge and appreciation of the oceans and the life that is lived on them--a knowledge and appreciation born in him through a long line of seafaring ancestry and fostered by his own love for the sea--he has a powerful style of writing. Vividness is perhaps its distinguishing characteristic, though fluency and a peculiar feeling for words also mark it. The Three Sisters By MAY SINCLAIR, Author of "The Divine Fire," "The Return of the Prodigal," etc. _Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._ Every reader of _The Divine Fire_, in fact every reader of any of Miss Sinclair's books, will at once accord her unlimited praise for her character work. _The Three Sisters_ reveals her at her best. It is a story of temperament, made evident not through tiresome analyses but by means of a series of dramatic incidents. The sisters of the title represent three distinct types of womankind. In their reaction under certain conditions Miss Sinclair is not only telling a story of tremendous interest but she is really showing a cross section of life. The Rise of Jennie Cushing By MARY S. WATTS, Author of "Nathan Burke," "Van Cleve," etc. _Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._ In _Nathan Burke_ Mrs. Watts told with great power the story of a man. In this, her new book, she does much the same thing for a woman. Jennie Cushing is an exceedingly interesting character, perhaps the most interesting of any that Mrs. Watts has yet given us. The novel is her life and little else, but that is a life filled with a variety
