A Girl's Student Days and After Part 5

Again Miss Laughlin has given us a master-piece in this story of present day life. Millet's picture, "The Gleaners," is the moving spirit of this little romance and, incidentally, one catches the inspiration the artist portrays in his immortal canvas. "The Gleaners" is issued in similar style to "Everybody's Lonesome," of which the _Toronto Globe_ said: "One of the successful writers of 'Good Cheer' stories for old and young is Miss Laughlin, and whoever reads one of her cheery little volumes desires more."

The Broken Wall

Professor Steiner has the story-teller's knack and uses his art with consummate skill in this collection, where will be found dramatic tragedy and profound pathos in strong contrast with keen humor and brilliant wit, all permeated by an uncompromising optimism. No man has probed the heart of the immigrant more deeply, and his interpretation of these Americans of tomorrow is at once a revelation and an inspiration: a liberal education in brotherhood.

_A. D. STEWART_

Heather and Peat

"This is a very delightful story, told in the broadest and most fascinating Scotch language. The author belongs of right to that cla.s.s of modern Scotch writers who bring out matters of vital human interest, with religious and tender touches, and this story is one that any writer might be proud of and any reader of feeling and vitality must delight in."--_Journal and Messenger_.

_YANG PING YU_

The Love Story of a Maiden of Cathay

Written in English picturesquely colored with Chinese, at once naive and yet full of worldly wisdom, frank and yet discreetly reserved. The story as told in the letters is real, vivid, convincing. It is a human doc.u.ment that will compel the attention of the reader from beginning to end, and verify again the saying that "truth is stranger than fiction."

_MARION BLYTHE_

An American Bride in Porto Rico

"The story is very pleasant and very human. In her bravery and courage, in her wit and merriment, the bride reminds one somewhat of the "Lady of the Decoration." This similarity adds, however, rather than detracts from the charm of the book. She is thoroughly good-natured and clever and companionable, with a whimsical and ever-present sense of humor."--_Chicago Evening Post_.
