page illustrated leaflet about Mr. De Morgan, with complete reviews of his first four books, sent on request. HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY PUBLISHERS -- NEW YORK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INEZ HAYNES GILLMORE'S JANEY Illustrated by Ada C. Williamson. $1.25 net. "Being the record of a short interval in the journey thru life and the struggle with society of a little girl of nine, in which she repudiates her duties as an amateur mother, snares the most blundering of birds, successfully invades Grub Street, peers behind the veil of the seen into the unseen, interprets the great bard, grubs at the root of all evil, faces the three great problems--Birth--Death--Time--and finally, in passing thru the laborious process of becoming ten, discovers the great illusion," says the descriptive title. "Our hearts were captive to 'Phoebe and Ernest,' and now accept 'Janey.' ... She is so engaging.... Told so vivaciously and with such good-natured and pungent asides for grown people."--_Outlook._ "Janey's naturalness in quest of the whys of life is the naturalness of the child who lives in the world instead of between the covers of a delightfully written book."--_Washington Evening Star._ "Depicts youthful human nature as one who knows and loves it. Her 'Phoebe and Ernest' studies are deservedly popular, and now, in 'Janey,' this clever writer has accomplished an equally charming portrait."--_Chicago Record-Herald._ INEZ HAYNES GILLMORE'S PHOEBE AND ERNEST With 30 illustrations by R. F. Schabelitz. $1.50. Parents will recognize themselves in the story, and laugh understandingly with, and sometimes at, Mr. and Mrs. Martin and their children. Youths and maidens will understand Phoebe and Ernest's experiences and problems. "Attracted delighted attention in the course of its serial publication. Sentiment and humor are deftly mingled in this clever book."--_N. Y. Tribune._ "We must go back to Louisa Alcott for their equals."--_Boston Advertiser._ "For young and old alike we know of no more refreshing story."--_New York Evening Post._ HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY PUBLISHERS -- NEW YORK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HENRY WILLIAMS'S THE UNITED STATES NAV
