YOUNG APRIL.  With illustrations by A. B. Wenzell.

“It is everything that a good romance should be, and it carries about it an air or distinction both rare and delightful.”—­Chicago Tribune.  “With regret one turns to the last page of this delightful novel, so delicate in its romance, so brilliant in its episodes, so sparkling in its art, and so exquisite in its diction.”—­Worcester Spy.

FLOWER O’ THE ORANGE.  With frontispiece.

We have learned to expect from these fertile authors novels graceful in form, brisk in movement, and romantic in conception.  This carries the reader back to the days of the bewigged and beruffled gallants of the seventeenth century and tells him of feats of arms and adventures in love as thrilling and picturesque, yet delicate, as the utmost seeker of romance may ask.

MY MERRY ROCKHURST. Illustrated by Arthur E. Becher.

“In the eight stories of a courtier of King Charles Second, which are here gathered together, the Castles are at their best, reviving all the fragrant charm of those books, like The Pride of Jennico, in which they first showed an instinct, amounting to genius, for sunny romances.  The book is absorbing * * * and is as spontaneous in feeling as it is artistic in execution.”—­New York Tribune.

THE CATTLE BARON’S DAUGHTER.  A Novel.  By Harold Bindloss.  With illustrations by David Ericson.

A story of the fight for the cattle-ranges of the West.  Intense interest is aroused by its pictures of life in the cattle country at that critical moment of transition when the great tracts of land used for grazing were taken up by the incoming homesteaders, with the inevitable result of fierce contest, of passionate emotion on both sides, and of final triumph of the inevitable tendency of the times.

WINSTON OF THE PRAIRIE.  With illustrations in color by W. Herbert Dunton.

A man of upright character, young and clean, but badly worsted in the battle of life, consents as a desperate resort to impersonate for a period a man of his own age—­scoundrelly in character but of an aristocratic and moneyed family.  The better man finds himself barred from resuming his old name.  How, coming into the other man’s possessions, he wins the respect of all men, and the love of a fastidious, delicately nurtured girl, is the thread upon which the story hangs.  It is one of the best novels of the West that has appeared for years.

THAT MAINWARING AFFAIR.  By A. Maynard Barbour.  With illustrations by E. Plaisted Abbott.

A novel with a most intricate and carefully unraveled plot.  A naturally probable and excellently developed story and the reader will follow the fortunes of each character with unabating interest * * * the interest is keen at the close of the first chapter and increases to the end.
