Cloth 12mo $1.50 "The book is in every way a worthy companion to its very popular predecessor."--_The Churchman._ "Altogether the story is fascinating, holding the attention with its charm of narrative and its pictures of real life."--_Grand Rapids Herald._ "The whole book is delicious, with its wise and kindly humor, its just perspections of the true values of things, its clever pen pictures of people and customs, and its healthy optimism for the great world in general."--_Philadelphia Telegraph._ * * * * * Anne Carmel By GWENDOLEN OVERTON Author of "The Heritage of Unrest" With Illustrations by ARTHUR I. KELLER Cloth 12mo $1.50 "A novel of uncommon beauty and depth ... in every way an unusual book."--_Louisville Times._ "One of the few very important books of the year."--_The Sun_, New York.

It is said by those who have read the story that it will stand as a picture of Roman and Italian life without a peer. Mr. Crawford has been living in Italy most of the year in order to be close to the atmosphere and the life of the city which he has here depicted. * * * * * The Literary Sense By E.
