as a writer of short
stories.

Love Letters of a Musician

By Myrtle Reed.

"Miss Reed's book is an exquisite prose poem--words strung on
thought-threads of gold--in which a musician tells his love for one whom
he has found to be his ideal. The idea is not new, but the opinion is
ventured that nowhere has it been one-half so well carried out as in the
'Love Letters of a Musician.' The ecstacy of hope, the apathy of
despair, alternate in these enchanting letters, without one line of
cynicism to mar the beauty of their effect."--_Rochester Herald._

Later Love Letters of a Musician

By Myrtle Reed.

"It was with considerable hesitation that Myrtle Reed's second volume of
a musician's love letters was taken up, a natural inference being that
Miss Reed could scarcely hope to repeat her first success. Yet that she
has equalled, if not surpassed, the interest of her earlier letters is
soon apparent. Here will be found the same delicate fancy, the same
beautiful imagery, and the same musical phrases from well-known
composers, introducing the several chapters, and giving the key to their
various moods. Miss Reed has accomplished her purpose successfully in
both series of the letters."--_N. Y. Times Saturday Review._

The Diary of a Dreamer

By Alice Dew-Smith, author of "Soul Shapes," "A White Umbrella"

"A book to be read as a sedative by the busy and overworked. The scene
is laid in England, and is bathed in a peculiarly English atmosphere of
peace and leisure. Contains much domestic philosophy of a pleasing if
not very original sort, and, incidentally, no little good-natured social
satire."--_N. Y. Evening Post._

"This is a book of the meditative order. The writer expresses her
thoughts in a manner that is a delightful reminder of 'Reveries of a
Bachelor' of Ike Marvel.... In parts it is amusing, in the manner of
Mark Twain's 'Sketches.' The combination of humor and sensible
reflection results to the reader's delight."--_Albany Times Union._

"'The Diary of a Dreamer' is a charming treatment of the every-day
topics of life. As in 'Reveries of a Bachelor' and 'Elizabeth and her
German Garden,' we find an engaging presentation, from the feminine
point of view, of the scenes and events that make up the daily living.
The 'Diary' is one of those revelations of thought and feeling that fit
so well into the reader's individual experience."--_Detroit Free Press._
