  CAROLINA LEE. By Lillian Bell. With frontispiece by Dora Wheeler Keith.

  Carolina Lee is the Uncle Tom's Cabin of Christian Science. Its keynoteis "Divine Love" in the understanding of the knowledge of all goodthings which may be obtainable. When the tale is told, the sick healed,wrong changed to right, poverty of purse and spirit turned into riches,lovers made worthy of each other and happily united, including CarolinaLee and her affinity, it is borne upon the reader that he has beengiving rapid attention to a free lecture on Christian Science; that theworking out of each character is an argument for "Faith;" and that thetheory is persuasively attractive.

  A Christian Science novel that will bring delight to the heart of everybeliever in that faith. It is a well told story, entertaining, andcleverly mingles art, humor and sentiment.

  HILMA, by William Tillinghast Eldridge, with illustrations by HarrisonFisher and Martin Justice, and inlay cover.

It will hold the fiction lover close to every page.
