THE HELPMATE

12mo. $1.50

_The Literary Digest_ says: "The novels of May Sinclair make waste
paper of most of the fiction of a season." This new story, the first
written since "The Divine Fire," will strengthen the author's
reputation. It has been serialized in _The Atlantic Monthly_, and _The
New York Sun_ says of an early instalment:

"Miss Sinclair's new novel, 'The Helpmate,' is attracting much
attention. It is a miniature painting of delicacy and skill,
reproducing few characters in a small space, with fine sincerity,--the
invalid sister, the man with a past, and the wife with strict
convictions. The riddle is to find which one of the women is the
helpmate. In the vital situation thus far developed the sister is
leading in the race."

As the plot develops the canvas is filled in with other characters as
finely drawn. The story grips the reader. Lovers of good literature and
of a good story will delight in its development.

THE DIVINE FIRE

The story of the regeneration of a London poet and the degeneration of
a London critic. 15th printing. $1.50.

Mary Moss in the _Atlantic Monthly_: "Certain it is that in all our new
fiction I have found nothing worthy to compare with 'The Divine Fire,'
nothing even remotely approaching the same class."

AUDREY CRAVEN

The story of a pretty little woman with the soul of a spoiled child,
who had a fatal fascination for most men. 3d printing. $1.50.

_Literary Digest_: "Humor is of the spontaneous sort and rings true,
and the lancet of her wit and epigram, tho keen, is never cruel.... An
author whose novels may be said to make waste paper of most of the
fiction of a season."

SUPERSEDED

The story of two highly contrasted teachers in a girls' school. 2d
printing. $1.25.

_New York Sun_: "It makes one wonder if in future years the quiet
little English woman may not be recognised as a new Jane Austen."
