KATRINA
BY ROY ROLFE GILSON Author of "In the Morning Glow" With Illustrations in color by Alice Barber
Stephens. Crown, 8vo. $1.50 The subtlety and charm of Mr. Gilson's stories reach their highest point in this book. Larry, the newspaper man, humorous, kindly, homely, lives over again the romance of his younger days in the little daughter of the woman he lost. Upon this slightly suggested theme Mr. Gilson builds one of his most charming stories, full of the humor and the tenderness which mark all of his work. The illustrations by Mrs. Stephens deserve an especial word, for the extraordinary sympathy with which they depict the charm of Mr. Gilson's characters.

POWER LOT
BY SARAH P. McLEAN GREENE Author of
"Cape Cod Folks," "Vesty of the Basins,"
"Deacon Lysander." 12moIllustrated$1.50 In this volume Mrs. Greene returns to the quaint, strong characters of the sea coast, but this time it is in Nova Scotia that she has laid her story. The tale is of a dissolute city lad set down penniless in the sombre life of Power Lot—"Power Lot God Help Us" it is called in that section—a little fishing village set on the rough, wild coast, where the characters have the breadth of the magnificent view which surrounds them, and a quaint idea of life, which is altogether fascinating. The story of the development of this lad in the hard work and struggle for his very living, and of the pathetic and humorous incidents which befell him, is done in Mrs. Greene's best style, and is perhaps the strongest and most entertaining book she has written.

HAZEL OF
HEATHERLAND
By Mabel Barnes-Grundy $1.50 Truly a tale of most exceptional humour and charm—a most captivating and refreshing story. HOW ENGLAND RECEIVED HAZEL: Punch.—"The Baron has great pleasure in recommending Hazel to all and sundry. There is in this story an originality of idea and a freshness of treatment that will rivet the attention of the most jaded novel-reader." Pall Mall Gazette.—"In Hazel of Heatherland, Miss Mabel Barnes-Grundy presents the story of a very charming country girl. In the quiet humours of home life, in the antithesis of severe and buoyant character of familiar types, and in that ingenuous raillery for which an alert and good-tempered disposition can find so much opportunity, the novel is entirely agreeable. A very pretty love story, tinctured with humour, runs through the book, and any reader who fails to enjoy it may be dismissed as a hopeless frump."

FOLLY
By EDITH RICKERT Author of "The Reaper" Illustrated in Color by Sigismond de Ivanowski $1.50 "Folly" is a two-edged title—at the same time both the nickname of the charming, high-spirited heroine and the keynote of her life's actions. The story of Folly's temptation and its disaster, of the man she married and the "other man" whom she loved, are told with a delicacy and subtle force which fulfill the extravagant prophecies made upon publication of "The Reaper." To competent observers of tides in modern popular fiction "Folly" embodies, in its artistic and thoroughly interesting handling of a great theme, the essence of present-day literary tendencies. It is a strong story, yet its problem is handled with great delicacy, so that it is, in fact, spiritual where many writers would have made it gross.
