the middle ages
with nineteenth century men and women; and they are creations of flesh
and blood, and not mere pictures of past centuries. The story is about
Jack Winthrop, a newspaper man. Mr. MacGrath's finest bit of character
drawing is seen in Hillars, the broken down newspaper man, and Jack's
chum.
LOVE IS THE SUM OF IT ALL, By Geo. Cary Eggleston
With illustrations by Hermann Heyer.
In this "plantation romance" Mr. Eggleston has resumed the manner and
method that made his "Dorothy South" one of the most famous books of
its time.
There are three tender love stories embodied in it, and two unusually
interesting heroines, utterly unlike each other, but each possessed of
a peculiar fascination which wins and holds the reader's sympathy. A
pleasing vein of gentle humor runs through the work, but the "sum of it
all" is an intensely sympathetic love story.
HEARTS AND THE CROSS, By Harold Morton Cramer
With illustrations by Harold Matthews Brett.
The hero is an unconventional preacher who follows the line of the Man
of Galilee, associating with the lowly, and working for them in the
ways that may best serve them. He is not recognized at his real value
except by the one woman who saw clearly. Their love story is one of the
refreshing things in recent fiction.

THE SHUTTLE, By Frances Hodgson Burnett
With inlay cover in colors by Clarence F. Underwood.
This great international romance relates the story of an American girl
who, in rescuing her sister from the ruins of her marriage to an
Englishman of title, displays splendid qualities of courage, tact and
restraint. As a study of American womanhood of modern times, the
character of Bettina Vanderpoel stands alone in literature. As a love
story, the account of her experience is magnificent. The masterly
handling, the glowing style of the book, give it a literary rank to
which very few modern novels have attained.
