Her Ladyship's Elephant Part 28

OUR LADY OF THE BEECHES

Balzac says "The dramas of life do not lie in the circ.u.mstances surrounding--they lie in the heart.' This is a drama of the heart.

"This tender idyll ... we can only recommend our readers to buy and read it for themselves."--DAILY MAIL.

THE ADVENTURER

By LLOYD OSBOURNE

"Crowded with thrilling incident the narrative races along. The book can be recommended to all who enjoy a tale of pure adventure."--TIMES.

BACCARAT

By FRANK DANBY

Author of "Pigs in Clover," etc.

This brilliant caustic writer here gives one of her vividest pictures of a certain clique in society. She wields no timid pen and does not hesitate to catch them _in flagrante delicto_. Yet the book is no "preachment" from a self-a.s.sumed pulpit, it is a novel simply.

THE COUNTRY HOUSE

By JOHN GALSWORTHY

Author of "A Man of Property," etc.

This problem of the country family, the county family, is such that it concerns every one of us vitally. What they had to solve we have to solve. And it is Mr. Galsworthy's strong point that he never fails to give us a new vision, nor to hold our interest intent throughout. It is an inspiring work.

LORD KENTWELL'S LOVE AFFAIR

By FLORENCE C. PRICE

A good story of London society and of political society. Lord Kentwell and his sisters provide a most spirited picture, and there is besides a background of big happenings very cleverly drawn.

THE SEA WOLF

By JACK LONDON

Author of "The Call of the Wild."

A gruesome, thrilling story of the sea. Mr. London brings always the breath of big s.p.a.ces, the tenseness of great actions and the flesh and blood of real life, of adventures really lived, into his books. As a story, apart from anything else, it is probably as good a book as Mr.

London has ever written.

THE n.i.g.g.e.r OF THE "NARCISSUS"

By JOSEPH CONRAD

Author of "Typhoon," etc.

Mr. Conrad is a writer to whom the public instinctively turn nowadays for an exciting, closely a.n.a.lysed study of men. The DAILY CHRONICLE says: "It is written by a man who knows every phase of the sea ... and it is written by a man who can write."

THE MAGNETIC NORTH

By ELIZABETH ROBINS

Author of "Come and Find Me," etc.

A story of the ever-calling North.

"It is all so excellently written, so vividly realised, so picturesquely put before the reader that it would be impossible not to be attracted."

--WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.

TWO NOVELS by E. F. BENSON

Author of "Sheaves," etc. etc.

THE BLOTTING BOOK

A murder story, most ingeniously worked out. Mr. Benson carries the reader along full speed to a truly dramatic ending.

THE BABE B.A.

A very differed story from the "Blotting Book." It is a light, highly entertaining account of Cambridge undergraduate life which already ranks with "Verdant Green" among University cla.s.sics.

TWO NOVELS

By Mrs. HENRY DUDENEY

THE MATERNITY OF HARRIET WICKEN

A picture in low tones, but of whole-hearted conviction and quiet sympathetic appeal. Mrs. Dudeney has realised to perfection the work-a-day world and its stories.

THE ORCHARD THIEF

A charming country tale with, in particular, one great scene of striking dramatic force. The contrast of this author's power to charm and to impress as she wills, is markedly shown in this capital book.
