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!
"A great romantic novel, written with striking brilliancy and power, in
which one sees emerge a new country and a new people.... Throughout the
story one has the sense of great spaces; of the soil dominating
everything, even the human drama that takes place upon it; renewing
itself while the generations come and pass away."--_McClure's Magazine._
"The book is big in its conception and strikes many great live topics of
the day--the feminist movement and the back-to-the-soil doctrines being
two of the most conspicuous. There is a spirit of the open spaces about
this story--a bigness that suggests that Miss Cather has taken more than
her title from Whitman's hymn to progress, 'Pioneers, O
Pioneers.'"--_San Francisco Chronicle._
By ELIA W. PEATTIE
THE PRECIPICE
"A frank and fearless study of the New Womanhood which we now see all
around us ... done upon a broad canvas."--_The Bookman._
"No stronger novel pleading the cause of woman has yet been written than
'The Precipice.'"--_Los Angeles Times._
"The author knows life and human nature thoroughly, and she has written
out of ripened perceptions and a full heart ... a book which men and
women alike will be better for reading, of which any true hearted author
might be proud."--_Chicago Record He
