The Winning Chance. By Elizabeth Dejeans. Mrs. Dejeans's first novel, which she states she wrote in two and one-half months' time in the simplest language she knew, has for its theme the big problem of the American girl who enters upon a business career. The Woman in Question. By John Reed Scott. The scene is in a country place near Charleston, South Carolina. The trouble and mystery arises through the marriage of a very wealthy girl to a worthless man, who simply wanted her money and whom she had known but a week when she married him. After a month they are separated and do not meet again for ten years. The tragedy which follows is the result of her refusal to meet his demands for seventy-five thousand dollars. Little, Brown and Company: The Kingdom of Earth. By Anthony Partridge. Bergeland is the imaginary kingdom of the story, and the hero, who is the Crown Prince, plots to overthrow the throne to which he is heir. He has the reputation of leading the dissolute life common to the members of the royal family, but is in reality vastly different from them. He has his foster-brother impersonate him, and this young man keeps up for the Crown Prince the reputation he has courted, while the real Crown Prince, under the name of John Peters, leads a very different life. Without any of its members discerning his true position he directs the affairs of a revolutionary society which he has been the means of organising in order to demolish the kingdom and establish a republic. In this connection he meets an American girl, a graduate of Wellesley and a successful actress, who, in her sympathy for the downtrodden, has become interested in the revolutionary society and takes an active part in its work. In accomplishing its purpose the society aims at the life of the Crown Prince, and John Peters, the real Prince, finds it necessary to protect the life of his foster-brother, who has impersonated him. When the revolution comes the King is allowed to flee from the country, a republic takes the place of the Kingdom of Bergeland, and the former Crown Prince marries Grace Pellisier, the American girl.
