"Margaret Widdemer, who says she likes happy stories, proves it by writing them for other people to read.... The book is full of charm, amusing incident, and gay conversation; and the interest in the situation holds to the last half page."--_N.Y. Evening Post._
YOU'RE ONLY YOUNG ONCE
Miss Widdemer's new novel is the story of youth's romance as it came to the five girls and three boys of a happy American family.

_Some Noteworthy Comments_
"'Hats off, gentlemen--a genius.' One may mention 'Jean-Christophe' in the same breath with Balzac's 'Lost Illusions'; it is as big as that.... It is moderate praise to call it with Edmund Gosse 'the noblest work of fiction of the twentieth century.' A book as big, as elemental, as original as though the art of fiction began to-day. . We have nothing comparable in English literature. ."--_Springfield Republican._
"If a man wishes to understand those devious currents which make up the great, changing sea of modern life, there is hardly a single book more illustrative, more informing and more inspiring."--_Current Opinion._
"Must rank as one of the very few important works of fiction of the last decade. A vital compelling work. We who love it feel that it will live."--_Independent._
"The most momentous novel that has come to us from France, or from any other European country, in a decade."--_Boston Transcript._
