As the summer months pass along full
of gsiety and pleasure, long trips to the
mountains, pleasant GALES and yachting
excursions, or the more lazy idling on
the sands or hotel piazzas, one instinct
lively asks the question: 'What shall we
need? ?" Robert Bonner's Sons, are en-
deavoring to answer this question by
placing before the public their produc-
tion, full OF wholesome stories, which
will entertain, but not bore, stories con.
tanning graphic descriptions OF foreign
countries, gay scenes from the sea shore
and mountains. a spice OF travel and an
exciting bit Of adventure or intrigue to
heighten the effect. One of their best
series is the well.known Ledger Library.
And one of their best authors is Mrs.
Harriet Lawis, we'll known from her
Lady Kildare and Her Double Life. Her
novels, beginning with the last named,
have all enjoyed immense popularity.
They furnish delightful reading and re-
creation, and the scenes described in
such vivid language linger in the mem
ory. One of her latest books is Trasilian
Court. Many requests have been made
for the publication in book form OF this
delightful story, one of the best Mre.
Lewis ever wrote. 1t ia a European
story, the scene being laid in England
and on the continent, and, as in many
others Of Mrs. Lewis books, the inter
est centers in the fate OF young noble
man, gifted, generous and rich. Few
authore have ever possessed the story
telling faculty in greater perfection
than Mrs. Lewis. No one can take
up one of her books without
becoming interested. In all her
numerous writings she never produced
anything more interesting aud charm
ing and perfect than Tressilian Court.
Al this time wo might also mention as
powerful book as the preceding is
found in it's sequel, entitled. Guy Tres
silian's Fate, the continuation and con-
clusion OF that remarkable novel, Tres
sflian Court, aud which should be read
in connection with it to be thoroughly
enjoyed and appreciated. They are the
typical English novel. full OF a wealth OF
incident, OF emotion, OF character. OF
strange adventures, which holds the
readers attention steadfast and weaves
a charm around the heart.
