nto new wisdom, slowly acquired according to her nature, and also into tranquillity, friendship, love, and motherhood-all the eternal rewards of right living. Would she accomplish this best through that other Clark--the workman--whom she had discovered for herself? The sentimental reader probably has this already settled to his satisfaction. But I wonder! THE END By ARTHUR STANWOOD PIER THE WOMEN WE MARRY "Keen and incisive in character study, logical and life-like in plot invention and development, 'The Women We Marry,' is a novel that stands sturdily on its own merits. It is vigorous, frank and emotional in the best sense of that much-abused word, and there is little in it that is not faithfully representative of life." _Boston Transcript._ "The author of this realistic novel has not been afraid to endow his people richly with the ordinary faults and foibles of human nature.... Both his men and women are very real, human people." _New York Times._ "As a study of types, 'The Women We Marry' is one of the best things that American fiction has recently produced." _Springfield Republican._ By WILLA SIBERT CATHER O PIONEERS!
