 BOOKS BY GRAHAM TRAVERS.

WINDYHAUGH. A Novel. By GRAHAM TRAVERS, author of "Mona Maclean, Medical Student," "Fellow Travellers," etc. 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

" 'Windyhaugh' shows an infinitely more mature skill and more subtle humor than 'Mona Maclean' and a profounder insight into life. The psychology in Dr. Todd's remarkable book is all of the right kind; and there is not in English fiction a more careful and penetrating analysis of the evolution of a woman's mind than is given in Wilhelmina Galbraith; but 'Windyhaugh' is not a book in which there is only one 'star' and a crowd of 'supers.' Every character is limned with a conscientious care that bespeaks the true artist, and the analytical interest of the novel is rigorously kept in its proper place and is only one element in a delightful story. It is a supremely interesting and wholesome book, and in an age when excellence of technique has reached a remarkable level, 'Windyhaugh' compels admiration for its brilliancy of style. Dr. Todd paints on a large canvas, but she has a true sense of proportion."—Blackwoood's Magazine.

"For truth to life, for adherence to a clear line of action, for arrival at the point toward which it has aimed from the first, such a book as 'Windyhaugh ' must be judged remarkable. There is vigor and brilliancy. It is a book that must be read from the beginning to the end and that it is a satisfaction to have read."—Boston Journal.

"Its easy style, its natural characters, and its general tone of earnestness assure its author a high rank among contemporary novelists."—Chicago Tribune. "We can cordially eulogize the spendid vitality of the work, its brilliancy, its pathos, its polished and crystalline style, and its remarkable character-painting."—New York Home Journal.

MONA MACLEAN, Medical Student. 12mo, paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.

"A high-bred comedy."—New York Times.

" 'Mona Maclean' is a bright, healthful, winning story."—New York Mail and Express.

"Mona is a very attractive person, and her story is decidedly well told."—San Francisco Argonaut.

"A pleasure in store for you if you have not read this volume. The author has given us a thoroughly natural series of events, and drawn her characters like an artist. It is the story of a woman's struggles with her own soul. She is a woman of resource, a strong woman, and her career is interesting from beginning to end."—New York Herald.

FELLOW TRAVELLERS. 12mo, paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.

"The stories are well told; the literary style is above the average, and the character drawing is to be particularly praised. . . . Altogether, the little book is a model of its kind, and its reading will give pleasure to people of taste."—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.

" 'Fellow Travellers' is a collection of very brightly written tales, all dealing, as the title implies, with the mutual relations of people thrown together casually while traveling."—London Saturday Review.
