sympathize with Mrs. Norris' people because they seem like _real_
people and because they are actuated by motives which one is able to
understand. _Saturday's Child_ is Mrs. Norris' longest work. Into
it has gone the very best of her creative talent. It is a volume
which the many admirers of _Mother_ will gladly accept.



The Game of Life and Death: Stories of the Sea

By LINCOLN COLCORD, Author of "The Drifting Diamond," etc. With
frontispiece. Decorated cloth, 12mo. $1.25 net.

Upon the appearance of Mr. Colcord's _The Drifting Diamond_, critics
throughout the country had a great deal to say on the pictures of
the sea which it contained. Mr. Colcord was compared to Conrad, to
Stevenson, and to others who have written of the sea with much
success. It is gratifying, therefore, that in this book the briny
deep furnishes the background--in some instances the plot
itself--for each one of its eleven tales. Coupled with his own
intimate knowledge and appreciation of the oceans and the life that
is lived on them--a knowledge and appreciation born in him through a
long line of seafaring ancestry and fostered by his own love for the
sea--he has a powerful style of writing. Vividness is perhaps its
distinguishing characteristic, though fluency and a peculiar feeling
for words also mark it.
