Great Books at Little Prices

THE MUSIC MASTER.  By Charles Klein.

Illustrated by John Rae.

This marvelously vivid narrative turns upon the search of a German musician in New York for his little daughter.  Mr. Klein has well portrayed his pathetic struggle with poverty, his varied experiences in endeavoring to meet the demands of a public not trained to an appreciation of the classic, and his final great hour when, in the rapidly shifting events of a big city, his little daughter, now a beautiful young woman, is brought to his very door.  A superb bit of fiction, palpitating with the life of the great metropolis.  The play in which David Warfield scored his highest success.

DR. LAVENDAR’S PEOPLE.  By Margaret Deland.

Illustrated by Lucius Hitchcock.

Mrs. Deland won so many friends through Old Chester Tales that this volume needs no introduction beyond its title.  The lovable doctor is more ripened in this later book, and the simple comedies and tragedies of the old village are told with dramatic charm.

OLD CHESTER TALES.  By Margaret Deland.

Illustrated by Howard Pyle.

Stories portraying with delightful humor and pathos a quaint people in a sleepy old town.  Dr. Lavendar, a very human and lovable “preacher,” is the connecting link between these dramatic stories from life.

HE FELL IN LOVE WITH HIS WIFE.  By E. P. Roe.

With frontispiece.

The hero is a farmer—­a man with honest, sincere views of life.  Bereft of his wife, his home is cared for by a succession of domestics of varying degrees of inefficiency until, from a most unpromising source, comes a young woman who not only becomes his wife but commands his respect and eventually wins his love.  A bright and delicate romance, revealing on both sides a love that surmounts all difficulties and survives the censure of friends as well as the bitterness of enemies.
