y girl and a young
New York society man. Just as they come to know each other, Fate steps
in and renders them both penniless by wrecking the great firm in which
their fortunes are invested. How the idle young man, without occupation
or profession, is moved to swing about and take up the business of life
in dead earnest is told with the brilliance and animation which are Mr.
Chambers's chief assets. "Perhaps there are some people who would not
like 'Japonette'; if such there are one ought to be sorry for
them."--_Boston Transcript_.

Dust," "The Husband's Story," "Old Wives for New," etc. 12mo. Cloth,

"The Price She Paid" is the story of a young woman, raised in luxury and
idleness, who by the sudden death of her father, is thrown upon her own
resources. Talented and determined, she sets out to be an opera singer,
but the way is long and rough and she is obliged to pay the full price
before success crowns her efforts. "Little idea is conveyed in a brief
outline of the terseness and vigor of the story. It is a very
significant book for a variety of reasons."--_Philadelphia Press_. "It
is a question whether among the dozens of flesh and blood people whom
David Graham Phillips has created there be one more genuinely real than
this Mildred Gower. Again the marvel of the man is upon us in the full
measure of his realistic artistry."--_Washington Star._
