The Grain of Dust
BY DAVID GRAHAM PHILLIPS, author of "The Husband's Story,'' "The Hungry Heart,'' "Old Wives for New,'' etc. Illustrated by A. B. Wenzell. 12mo. Cloth, $1.30 net.
The story of a great lawyer whose career comes near being wrecked through his infatuation for a shy little stenographer.
"Told with unlimited brilliance and animation.''
— Albany Journal.
"It compels a style of reading distinctly feverish.''
— New York Times.
"Probably the most brilliant of the novelist's numerous studies of character amid varying conditions of life.''
— Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
"This is one of the most significant novels of the year so far in its constructive bearing upon the difficulties of modern existence. It deserves attention because of its singular merits.'' — The Independent.
"It is conceived in the same vein of sincerity and treats modern life with that firm and certain grasp which has compelled serious and nation-wide recognition for practically all of Phillips's work.'' — Philadelphia Press.
"One reads it with feverish interest. It seems to demonstrate
that love is an illusion, but a very fatal and disturbing
illusion while it lasts. The story is remarkable for its concise
and suggestive realism.'' — Des Moines Register and Leader.
