When Half-Gods Go
_A NOVEL BY JULIA MAGRUDER_
Frontispiece in photogravure. 12mo. 330 pp. $1.50
A new novel by Miss Magruder is always sure of its welcome and _When
Half-Gods Go_ will find for her even a wider audience than she has
hitherto enjoyed. It is a fascinating story of social and musical life
in New York, full of human interest and those happy touches Miss
Magruder can do so well. The title is from Emerson's lines "When
half-gods go the gods arrive." In addition to its charm as a story the
publishers think this book will be presented in the handsomest dress
ever bestowed upon a novel. The fascinating frontispiece is reproduced
in photogravure, the book is printed throughout in two colors, the text
being enclosed in remarkably well done decorations, and the cover
design, in colors, is at once delicate and effective.
