her chronicles of Martin Hewitt,
investigator.
By ARTHUR MORRISON, author of "The Hole in the Wall," "Tales of Mean
Streets," etc.
This is a genuine, straightforward detective story of the kind that
keeps the reader on the _qui vive_. Martin Hewitt, investigator, might
well have studied his methods from Sherlock Holmes, so searching and
successful are they. His adventures take him at times to the slums of
London, amid scenes which recall Mr. Morrison's already noted "The Hole
in the Wall." As a combination of criminal and character studies, this
book is very successful.
COMMONWEALTH SERIES No. 7.
The Philadelphians:
AS SEEN BY A NEW YORK WOMAN.
By KATHARINE BINGHAM. (Pseud.)
A bright and breezy tale of a charming New York woman, whose wedded lot
is twice cast in Philadelphia. The family of her first husband committed
the unpardonable sin of living north of Market Street; that of her
second husband resided south of that line of demarcation. She is thus
enabled to speak whereof she knows concerning the conventions, and draws
the characteristics of life in the Quaker city, as well as the foibles
of the "first families" with a keen and caustic, though not unkindly,
pen.
