"'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

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
