New Novels that Will
Sell throughout the Fall

THE PASSIONATE QUEST
By E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM

An engrossing novel of present-day London, of its mean
streets and its fashionable ones, in which the author, for once,
makes the central figure, instead of a man, a girl who craves
happiness. "The Passionate Quest" has everything in its
favor-popular author, romantic story, and liberal advertising.

TO-MORROW AND TO-MORROW...
By STEPHEN MCKENNA

A realistic, vital novel of post-war England, particularly of
its inner political circles, in which some of the famous char-
acters of "Sonia" make their last appearance. It is a complete
story in itself, exciting as to plot but serious as to theme and
especially to be recommended to readers who think a little as
they read.
(Published on October 3.) $2.00

THE SHOW-OFF (A Novel)

By WILLIAM ALMON WOLFF

From the play of the same name by George Kelly

Not an ordinary novelization of a popular play, but a serious,
realistic, well-written novel that shows American life as it is,
a biting satire that is full of humor and pathos. This book
will be backed by generous advertising. Charles B. Falls has
made an excellent poster of Aubrey Piper, the "Show-off,"
and we shall supply four color reproductions (14x22 inches)
for window displays.

Elaine

at the Gates

by W. B. MAXWELL

of the Redfields

by GRACE S. RICHMOND

4,000,000 people read the Red Pepper Burns stories and
asked for more. They had to wait for awhile, but it's been
worth waiting for this story of Burns and his rusty haired
niece. It's a tonic novel and Red is more than ever before
a "specialist in human nature."

Confessions of the Marquis

BONI DE CASTELLANE

All those people who would enjoy a chat with the Prince of Wales will be delighted with these Confessions of the foreign nobleman who has been most in the American public eye, the French Marquis who married the heiress of the Jay Gould millions. The recent newspaper publicity regarding the annulment of this marriage by the Pope and the settlement of the Gould estate has brought the whole story back into the limelight. Illustrated with portraits and drawings and photographs. Show your customers the detailed table of contents.

THESE TWO BOOKS NEED ONLY BE SHOWN TO BE SOLD
THOUSANDS OF READERS KNOW OF THEM

H. L. Mencken's PREJUDICES

FOURTH SERIES

The fourth in a series: the first Prejudices sold well, the second sold
better, the third out-sold the second by far. And all three continue to sell
steadily! During the last year Mr. Mencken has increased his audience
immensely through his editorship of The American Mercury. I expect
Prejudices: Fourth Series to make a splendid sales record and I consider
it one of the most important books of the autumn.
