HER SOUL AND HER BODY, by Louise Closser Hale The struggle between the spirit and the flesh of a young girl early in life compelled to make her own way. Exposed to the temptations of life in a big city, the contest between her better and lower natures is described with psychological analysis and tender sympathy. Absorbingly interesting. HELL'S PLAYGROUND, by Ida Vera Simonton This book deals with primal conditions in a land where "there ain't no ten commandments"; where savagery, naked and unashamed, is not confined to the blacks. It is a record of the life in the African tropics and it is a powerful and fascinating story of a scene that has rarely been depicted in fiction. THE MYSTERY OF No. 47, by J. Storer Clouston This is a most ingenious detective story—a thriller in every sense of the word. The reader is led cleverly on until he is at a loss to know what to expect, and, completely baffled, is unable to lay the book down until he has finished the story and satisfied his perplexity. THE SENTENCE OF SILENCE, by Reginald Wright Kauffman Author of "The House of Bondage," etc. By "The Sentence of Silence" is meant that sentence of reticence pronounced upon the subject of sex. That which means the continuance of the human race is the one thing of which no one is permitted to speak. In this book the subject is dealt with frankly. THE GIRL THAT GOES WRONG, by Reginald Wright Kauffman Author of "The House of Bondage," etc. The inexpressible conditions of human bondage of many young girls and women in our cities demand fearless and uncompromising warfare. The terrible peril that lingers just around the corner from every American home must be stamped out with relentless purpose. TO-MORROW, by Victoria Cross Author of "Life's Shop Window," etc. Critics agree that this is Victoria Cross' greatest novel. Those who have read "Life's Shop Window," "Five Nights," "Anna Lombard," and similar books by this author will ask no further recommendation. "To-morrow" is a real novel—not a collection of short stories. Wherever you bought this volume you can purchase any other of the Crown Series at the same price; or they can be obtained from the publishers.
