A REALISTIC NOVEL.

By A. CURTIS BOND.

The history of a hopeless love and a desperate crime; a study of woman in her better and her worst phase; a stripping of falsity from femininity, and an insight into the causes that lead woman to passionate love and the abyss of passionate forgetfulness. One of the most remarkable and interesting studies of the season; a character-reading that every one should be familiar with; a psychological and natural picture of life as it is, but as it is seldom regarded.

Beautifully written in the style of the best examples of early French work, a reminder of the diction of AbbÉ Prevost, with the unjarring ease of "Manon Lescaut," it has a pleasant rhythmic flow which carries the reader spell-bound by the unusual interest of its mystery.
