Was that boy a fool? Or did he behave a trifle imprudently in trying circumstances? It is difficult to say till you know Molly, who is described by the press as "one of the most lovable, fascinating and wholly adorable little heroines whose acquaintance any man has made for years." One thing is certain, no sooner do you make Molly's acquaintance than you introduce her to all your friends.

THE WEAVERS

By Sir GILBERT PARKER

Author of "The Ladder of Swords," etc.

Sir Gilbert Parker is one of our finest romance writers of the present day. This is a story of Egypt—full of rich colour, brilliant flowing descriptions. It has the flavour of the Desert, the Nile and the indefinable sense of immortality that belongs to the land of the Pharaohs.

TOTO

By H. DE VERE STACPOOLE

Author of "The Blue Lagoon," etc.

Written with that verve and wonderfully infectious humour which is characteristic of this author. The Outlook says: "That rare and delightful thing, a French novel written in English."

THREE BOOKS

By BARONESS VON HUTTEN

PAM

Pam is a "classic" before her time so to speak. People are compared to "Pam"; so to their disadvantage are most girl heroines of the novels. She is inimitable, by herself, and oh! so wholly charming!

WHAT BECAME OF PAM

"Whether we have or have not read 'Pam,' we shall certainly find 'What became of Pam' interesting."—Daily Telegraph.

OUR LADY OF THE BEECHES

Balzac says "The dramas of life do not lie in the circumstances 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-assumed 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 spaces, 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 NIGGER 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 analysed 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 classics.

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.

THE TIME MACHINE

By H. G. WELLS

Author of "The War of the Worlds," "Kips," etc.

You pull certain levers, having seated yourself in the saddle, and you are conveyed either backwards or forwards. When Mr. Wells is in the saddle it is easy to see how highly pleasurable the adventures will be. This clever idea has given Mr. Wells opportunity for full play of his philosophic views.

IF I WERE KING

By JUSTIN HUNTLY MCCARTHY

A mediaeval romance of love and chivalry in which the poet Francois Villon plays the leading part. It has drama, this story, and it seizes the imagination.

MARCIA IN GERMANY

By SYBIL SPOTTISWOODE

Author of "Hedwig in England," etc.

Marcia is a bright, pleasant English girl, who goes to stay with her German relations. As others before she finds it difficult to grasp a different point of view, a different civilisation. The result is amusingly set forth by this author, whose dialogue is always good.

GODFREY MARTIN: School Boy

By CHARLES TURLEY

One of the very best of boys' books. It is one of the rarest of all rare things—a thoroughly sensible school story. The boys are human, neither saints nor super-sinners, and the masters for once behave in a totally reasonable way. And that doesn't prevent it being a rattling good story.

THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE

By STEPHEN CRANE

Author of "The Open Boat," etc.

The thunders of war, the life of regiments, the soul of humanity in stress and dangers, its qualities and shortcomings are all written on the pages of this thrilling and absorbing book. From the first paragraph our enthusiasm is gained and is not let go till the last.

"Simply unapproached in intimate knowledge and sustained imaginative strength."—Sat. Review.

The STREET of ADVENTURE

By PHILIP GIBBS

The "Street" is Fleet Street of course, for in what other are so many adventures to be found. The Evening Standard says: "It has the quality of big work.... The book positively pants with life."
