=She Buildeth Her House=

"The Strongest American Novel" Chicago Journal.

Seldom has the author of a first great novel so brilliantly transcended his initial success. A man and a woman inspiringly fitted for each other sweep into the zone of mutual attraction at the opening of the story. Destiny demands that each overcomes certain formidable destructible forces before either is tempered and refined for the glorious Union of Two to form One.

=Routledge Rides Alone=

"A gripping story. The terrible intensity of the writer holds one chained to the book."--Chicago Tribune.

Mr. Comfort has drawn upon two practically new story places in the world of fiction to furnish the scenes for his narrative--India and Manchuria at the time of the Russo-Japanese War. While the novel is distinguished by its clear and vigorous war scenes, the fine and sweet romance of the love of the hero, Routledge--a brave, strange, and talented American--for the "most beautiful woman in London" rivals these in interest.

With colored frontispiece by Martin Justice. 12mo. Cloth, with inlay in color $1.50.

=PHRYNETTE=

BY MARTHE TROLY-CURTIN

With a frontispiece by FRANK DESCH 12mo. Decorated cloth, $1.25 net

Phrynette is seventeen, extremely clever and naive, and attractive in every way. The death of her French father in Paris leaves her an orphan, and she goes to London to live with an aunt of Scotch descent. Her impressions of the people, the happenings and the places she becomes familiar with, peculiarities of customs and every little thing of interest are all touched upon in a charming and original manner, while in places there is irresistible humor. Throughout there is a good solid love story, and the ending is all that is to be desired.

"A very charming novel."--San Francisco Argonaut.

"Original, clever and extremely well-written."--Pittsburgh Dispatch.

"Refreshingly original and full of wholesome mirth. To say that the book is delightful reading is understating the fact."--Philadelphia Public Ledger.
