The COLOUR of the EAST
By ELIZABETH WASHBURN
_Here is the essence of the East pictured with all the instinct of a painter--pulsing colour, a sense of vivid life, elimination of non-essential detail. To quote from the book_:
"There are colours everywhere and always--in the dawns and sunsets, in the white moonlights and in the seas that drink in all the colour of the swimming skies. All day the native life pads along the roads without a sound. It meets, mixes in groups and separates--splashes of red in turbans, flowing muslins, scarfs of green and saffron and burnished naked skins."
_With Frontispiece by Jules Guerin. $1.25 net; postpaid, $1.37._
WHISPERING DUST
By ELDRID REYNOLDS
_Frederic Taber Cooper writes in his introduction to this novel_:
"There can be no half measures in any reader's attitude toward this book; it will either leave you cold, speaking to you in an unknown tongue, or else you will hail it with delight, as one of those rare and delicious discoveries, to be lingered over and reverted to, again and again, with ever new and infinite appreciation."
It is the story of a woman over 30 who is having her first taste of travel and pleasure.

THE TWO AMERICAS
By GEN. RAFAEL REYES

A book of vital importance to the business man, as well as to every one who is interested in the great continent of the future. Fully illustrated from photographs.

NIETZSCHE _and other_ Exponents of Individualism
_by_ PAUL CARUS
Illustrated. Cloth, $1.25
"Of books on Nietzsche, we doubt whether any will be found more simple in its analysis and interpretation of the writings of 'The mad philosopher' than the present work."--_Pittsburgh Journal._
"A two-fold purpose is served by this book--a study of philosophical anarchism and an interpretation of the theories of Nietzsche."--_Brooklyn Eagle._
"A brilliant refutation of the mad philosopher's doctrine."--_Toronto Globe._
"This exposition of Nietzsche's life and philosophy is probably both truthful and fair and as nearly just as any that can be made."--_Chicago Daily News._
"The book is so incisive and clear that it may be taken as an introduction to the study of philosophy."--_Trenton Times._
"Nietzsche, to the average man, has been little more than a name--a sort of synonym for turbulence--and violence of a nature not clearly understood. To such, this book will be welcome. It gives enough of both sides of the question of individualism to enable the reader to judge intelligently the principle of the 'Overman'."--_Greensboro Daily News._
NIETZSCHE
"The appearance of a philosopher like Nietzsche is a symptom of the times. He is one representative among several others of an anti-scientific tendency. The author here characterizes him as a poet rather than a thinker, as a leader and an exponent of certain unruly and immature minds. Though his philosophy is severely criticised, though it is weighed and found wanting, his personality is described not without sympathy and with an appreciation of his genius. His predecessor, Max Stirner, and other kindred spirits less known than Nietzsche are also introduced, and if the reader adopts the author's views he will condemn the tendencies and thoughts of these erratic philosophers but at the same time appreciate their aspirations and love them in their very errors. The fundamental error of them all is an extreme individualism which regards every single person as an absolute autonomous sovereign being, while a consideration of the origin of personality proves them to have originated within and under the influence of the social surroundings of communities from which they cannot be separated and of which they are and will forever remain parts. In this relation of the individual to society lie the roots of ethics. The individual cannot cut himself loose from his social surroundings without doing harm to himself; and the rules which this interrelation imposes upon the several members of society constitute an obligation which we call duty."

The Novel That Won The $10,000 Prize
If you delight in a well written romance that will hold your interest from start to finish, by all means buy a copy of this fascinating novel.
A Breezy Story--Entertainingly Told
It is not a "problem" or "sex" novel; it does not deal with woman suffrage; it does not argue. Diane of the Green Van is frankly a story for entertainment. Most of the scenes are laid in the big out-of-doors; it fairly breathes the spirit of the open. It is swift in movement, full of constant surprises, unusual situations, bright and witty in dialogue; through it all runs an absorbing romance deftly woven. Diane of the Green Van is wholesome and clean--with stirring action and striking drama. It's a big fine story!
Standard novel size; 440 pages. Handsome cloth binding, stamped in gold; characteristic jacket printed in four colors; delightful illustrations in colortone by REGINALD BIRCH.
