CHANCE

*By JOSEPH CONRAD*

*Author of "Youth," "Typhoon," etc.*

"Chance" is a novel of the effect of circumstances on character.
In the case of Flora de Barral, Chance was finally on her side,

uncertainty. Although we never see her face to face, but only
reflected, she is one of the most appealing heroines in modern
fiction. _New York Times._ JUST OUT, net, $1.35.

Mason & Hamlin Piano Company,
New York, N. Y.

Gentlemen:

The Mason & Hamlin Piano used by me during my operatic engagement
in this country has been a source of great pleasure.

Its beautiful singing tone is remarkable. Such qualities for the
vocalists or pianiste must be a great inspiration. I know of no
piano that gives me so much satisfaction and heartily recommend
it to those of my profession.

Mason & Hamlin should feel proud of their great achievement in
producing those wonderful instruments.

Sincerely yours,
_Titta Ruffo_.

Some New McClurg Books

The Coming Hawaii

By JOSEPH KING GOODRICH

Beginning with Captain Cook and even earlier navigators, the
history of this "Paradise of the Pacific" is briefly told.
Descriptions of the character and life of the natives and
newcomers follow, and full space is given to the attractions of
the islands for tourists and settlers. The products, business and
possibilities receive abundant mention, and little worthy of
interest is left untouched. The volume is a timely addition to
the "The World Today Series." The statistics are up to date.
Illustrated. *Net $1.50*

Junipero Serra, His Life and His Work

By A. H. FITCH

The present biography is an attempt to supply the need for a
popular account of the life and labors of the simple Franciscan
monk, whose memory is reverenced and honored by California.
Illustrated. *Net $1.50*

Cubists and Post-Impressionism

By ARTHUR JEROME EDDY

Author of "Delight; the Soul of Art," and "The New
Competition"

This remarkable work is far more than an exposition of certain
styles of painting, but while broadly historical and descriptive
of many men and schools, presents a plea for the public to react
to new impressions, and a defence of freedom for the artist to
express himself untrammeled by the past. Illustrated by
twenty-four color plates and over forty half-tones of the
pictures under discussion. Boxed. *Net $3.00*

The Art of Story-Telling

By JULIA DARROW COWLES

Out of her broad experience and love for the work, Miss Cowles
tells how the art can be made to minister the highest service.
She describes story-telling in the home and in the school, and
treats at length of different kinds of stories--fables, myths,
hero tales, Bible, and many other kinds which may delight and
help the children. Parents, teachers, and others who would use
this art most profitably and happily, will find here just what
they want. *Net $1.00*

Gerhart Hauptmann: His Life and Work

By KARL HOLL

Gerhart Hauptmann is as yet only known to English readers by some
of his works, although since he obtained the Nobel Prize for
literature, English and American interest in his work has
increased. Dr. Holl describes his personal life and character,
and his works from the first epic, afterward suppressed, to the
present time. This is a most important piece of critical
literature, both on account of its intrinsic merits and because
it is alone in its field. *Net $1.00*

Earmarks of Literature

By ARTHUR E. BOSTWICK

Author of "The Different West." The things which make good books
good are here made clear and interesting for popular reading by
the librarian of the St. Louis Public Library, who has gathered
and grouped together many things that are herein discussed in
readable and compact form. The makers of literature are
discussed, and other important features of the subject are
admirably treated. *Net 90 cents*
