alent. It is a volume which the many admirers of _Mother_ will gladly accept. PUBLISHED BY THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York NEW MACMILLAN FICTION Thracian Sea A Novel by JOHN HELSTON, Author of "Aphrodite," etc. _With frontispiece in colors. Decorated cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._ Probably no author to-day has written more powerfully or frankly on the conventions of modern society than John Helston, who, however, has hitherto confined himself to the medium of verse.

Decorated cloth, 12mo. $1.25 net._ The many readers who enjoyed _The Goodly Fellowship_ have been eagerly awaiting something more from the pen of the same author. This is at last announced. In _Metzel Changes His Mind_, Miss Schauffler strengthens the impression made by her first book that she is a writer of marked originality. Here again she ha
