an tale of modern life and love.
A MAN'S WOMAN.
A story which has for a heroine a girl decidedly out of the ordinary run
of fiction. It is most dramatic, containing some tremendous pictures of
the daring of the men who are trying to reach the Pole * * * but it is
at the same time essentially a _woman's_ book, and the story works
itself out in the solution of a difficulty that is continually presented
in real life--the wife's attitude in relation to her husband when both
have well-defined careers.
McTEAGUE. A Story of San Francisco.
"Since Bret Harte and the Forty-niner no one has written of California
life with the vigor and accuracy of Mr. Norris. His 'McTeague' settled
his right to a place in American literature; and he has now presented a
third novel, 'Blix,' which is in some respects the finest and likely to
be the most popular of the three."--_Washington Times._
BLIX.
"Frank Norris has written in 'Blix' just what such a woman's name would
imply--a story of a frank, fearless girl comrade to all men who are true
and honest because she is true and honest. How she saved the man she
fishes and picnics with in a spirit of outdoor platonic friendship,
makes a pleasant story, and a perfect contrast to the author's
'McTeague.' A splendid and successful story."--_Washington Times._
NEW EDITIONS OF THE MOST POPULAR NOVELS Of HALLIE ERMINIE RIVES
Handsomely bound in cloth. Price, 75 cents per volume, postpaid.
SATAN SANDERSON. With halftone illustrations by A. B. Wenzell, and inlay
cover in colors.
From the heroic figures of the American Revolution and the romantic
personage of Byron's day, Miss Rives has turned to the here and now. And
in the present she finds for her immense and brilliant talent a tale as
dramatic and enthralling as any of the storied past. The career of the
Rev. Harry Sanderson, known as "Satan" in his college days, who sowed
the wind to reap the whirlwind and won at last through strangest penance
the prize of love, seizes the reader in the strait grip of its feverish
interest. Miss Rives has outdone herself in the invention of a love
story that rings with lyric feeling and touches every fiber of the heart
with strength and beauty.
THE CASTAWAY. With illustrations in colors by Howard Chandler Christy.
The book takes its title from a saying of Lord Byron's: "Three great men
ruined in one year--a king, a cad, and a castaway." The king was
Napoleon. The cad was Beau Brummel. And
