The
Masquerader

1t often happens that the
Christmas holidays act as barrier
impeding the onward movement
of a book. 1t is interesting to
note that The MaSQUerader has
swept aside any such Interrupt
ton, and is attracting more read
ers than ever before.
ANY one or two reviews of a
book or play are apt to be mis-
leading, but when all the reviews
agree, their united judgment is
so entirely right that one has no
appeal. Take this latest aston
ishing novel and notice what the
papers-all OF them are saying.
What unusual enthusiasm Lis
ten, for instance, to the Cleveland
Leader:
Hurry. hasten hilial Don't waste a

interesting novel of the year, and it will
be a long time before we get It's equal
