"Somehow Good" is, in the unanimous opinion of the publishers' readers,
an advance upon anything of Mr. De Morgan's yet publisht. $1.75.

=WILLIAM DE MORGAN'S ALICE-FOR-SHORT=

The story of a London waif, a friendly artist, his friends and family,
with some decidedly dramatic happenings. Sixth printing. $1.75.

"'Joseph Vance' was far and away the best novel of the year, and of
many years.... Mr. De Morgan's second novel ... proves to be no less

"A perfect piece of writing."--_New York Tribune._

scenes, persons, phrases, and such a picture of the hardness of a
good woman as exists nowhere else in our literature."--_New York
Times Saturday Review._

"Masterly ... artistic to the core."--_Boston Advertiser._
