“J. S. OF DALE’S” GREATEST NOVEL.

In Cure of Her Soul.

By FREDERIC JESUP STIMSON (“J. S. of Dale”), author of “First Harvests,” “King Noanett,” “Guerndale,” etc. Illustrated by A. B. Wenzell. Cloth, $1.50.

One of the big novels of the year—big in theme, big in treatment—big in its perspective of humanity—normal, sinning, repentant people of the kind that one meets in real life. Two young society people have a sudden love affair and marriage. Then works out a strange story of two temperaments widely diverse, two lives wholly apart, yet holding together to an end that can only bring peace and happiness. It is one of the most powerful arguments against the divorce court ever put into the form of fiction.

“A novel which stands head and shoulders above its current fellows.”—Providence Journal.

“One of the most important novels of the year.”—Springfield Union.

“A valuable contribution to current fiction.”—New York Sun.

“A novel with a powerful motif. It presents a study of the social whirl of Greater New York; of a young Harvard graduate who loves twice; of a young wife, who, led apart from her mate by the gay maelstrom of the select, plunges into the estrangement with a butterfly flutter until she is abruptly halted and faced about; of the doings and sayings that go to make the book what it is—one of the best of the season.”—Brooklyn Citizen.
