perfection and with the harmonious print and paper and binding make the book a little gem. [_Ready in September_ 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. [_Ready in September_ THE ANVIL _A NOVEL BY R. V. RISLEY_ 12 mo. Cloth. About 300 pp. $1.50 In _The Anvil_ Mr. Risley has produced a novel which for conception, dramatic power, and sheer strength of characterization will stand head and shoulders above the ordinarily well done novel of the day. In it for the first time Mr. Risley "finds himself" and strikes the strong, clear note he will sound, with ever increasing strength, in the literature that lives. It is a novel that will make people _think_. [_Ready in September_ The Wings of the Morning _KENTUCKY STORIES BY ELEANOR TALBOT KINKEAD_ 12 mo. About 300 pp. $1.50.
