THE One Man, by Mrs. f. l.. q.
Aldrich. is the story of beautiful
Irish girl, the protege of an old Knick-
erbocker family Of New York. For So
cial and family reasons she does not
marry the man she loves; but Instead,
and for purely mercenary motives
becomes the wife of a divorced rich
old lumberman OF the northwest. She
not only acquires his millions but the
thorny crown of experiences and con-
ditions which accompany them. She,
however, finds herself at last, and
there is not only the final triumph
| of her religious ideals but full real
ization that love and honor far out
weigh the power of gold. Critics pro-
nounce the story to be not only high
ly moral but one of the most read
able of any recent work of American
fiction. It's style is original; intensely
interesting; it's philosophy timely and
sane, and its descriptive detail and
action dramatically beautiful. Espe-
