BOOKS BY DAVID GRAHAM PHILLIPS
The Husband's Story
12mo, Cloth, $1.50.
A clean, straightforward novel, interesting from page to page, and
as a whole most interesting because Mr. Phillips has with great skill
written it so that the millionaire husband not only shows the character
of his wife but lays his own character before the reader as if
unconsciously. A faithfully true picture of the social climber in American
womanhood, the Passaic undertaker's daughter who climbs to European
château life. The most cold-blooded and accurate presentation
of a certain type of money-making, hard-working commercial man.
And yet the man tells his own story.
The Hungry Heart
12mo, Cloth, $1.50.
"Mr. Phillips's book is at once an interesting piece of fiction and a trenchant dissection of some of our most dearly loved self-deceptions. And it is a work that can be read with profit — one is almost inclined to say that should be read — by any who are old enough to be able, and honest enough to dare, to seek the truest meanings of life by teaching themselves to look life unblinkingly in the face.'' — J. B. Kerfoot in Everybody's Magazine.
"The most profound study of the emotions of men and women
attempted in latter-day fiction is found in `The Hungry Heart.' It
should touch the sensibilities, the judgment and the emotions of every
one who reads it.'' — Philadelphia Record.
White Magic
Illustrated by A. B. Wenzell, Color Inlay by Harrison
Fisher on Cover. 12mo, Cloth, $1.50.
A wayward girl, heiress to a great fortune, falls deeply in love with
an artist of small means, who does not seem to reciprocate her feeling.
Her father intervenes. The girl, who, like her mother, has always been
accustomed to bow to her father's aggressive will, now defies him utterly
and leaves her home. The artist remains unaware of the havoc he has
created. He is friendly in a manner toward the girl and tries to act as
a sort of elder brother and counselor in her perplexities. The working
up and working out of this tangled situation is accomplished in a masterly
way, and with the intense and dramatic situations which readers have
learned to look for from Mr. Phillips.
