The name of the author of this pretty
little red bound volume is enough to
cause it to be inquired about and read.
Lillian Bell has a way of telling mod
ern stories in a modern manner that
attracts attention, then holds it. These
girls that she tells about are types
that one knows and meets with; and
the reading about them is pleasant.
The four stories in this volume are in
the best vein of the talented author.

and it's contents are such that, being
sent as a holiday gift, there would
follow only happy reflections.

further chronicles of Martin Hewitt,

best tellers of detective stories, being
without doubt the peer of any of them

have achieved success in this particu-
lar line of fiction. Mr. Morrison not
only tells good detective stories, but
he does it without offense to a good
literary taste.
