Pre-eminently superior to any literary creation of the day. Its naturalness places it on the plane of immortality.
By MEREDITH NICHOLSON Author of The Main Chance
Zelda Dameron is in all ways a splendid and successful story. There is about it a sweetness, a wholesomeness and a sturdiness that will commend it to earnest, kindly and wholesome people.
The whole story is thoroughly American. It is lively and breezy throughout--a graphic description of a phase of life in the Middle West.
A love story of a peculiarly sweet and attractive sort,--the interpretation of a girl's life, the revelation of a human heart.

This is the brightest, most sparkling book of the season, crisp as a new greenback, telling a most absorbing story in the most delightful way. There never was a book which held the reader more fascinated.
Satire that stops short of caricature, humor that never descends to burlesque, sentiment that is too wholesome and genuine to verge upon sentimentality, these are reasons enough for liking The Man on the Box, quite aside from the fact that it is a refreshing novelty in fiction.
By FREDERIC S. ISHAM Author of The Strollers and Under the Rose
There is much energy, much spirit, in this romance of the gold corner. Distinctly an opulent and animated tale.
Black Friday fascinates by its compelling force and grips by its human intensity. No better or more absorbing novel has been published in a decade.
The love story is handled with infinite skill. The pictures of "the street" and its thrilling, pulsating life are given with rare power.
An uproariously funny comedy-novel of a self-conscious couple in contact with the servant question. Their ludicrous predicaments with their cooks are described with a light, farcical quality and a satire that never fail to entertain.
"A good story well told. In every sentence a hearty laugh and many an irrepressible chuckle of mirth."
"An amusing love story, which is certain to win instant favor. Fresh, enthusiastic, and daintily lyrical."
"A charming little book, artistically made, is 'The Girl and the Kaiser'; one that can be recommended for pleasing entertainment without reserve."
