THE MISTRESS OF SHENSTONE

By Florence L. Barclay

In this delightful love story, a worthy successor of THE ROSARY, in which Mrs. Garth Dalmain again appears, we follow the fortunes of the young and lovely Lady Ingleby, recently widowed by the death of a husband who was never capable of really understanding her. While rusticating _incog._ in the country, she meets her heart's delight under the simple and classic name of "Jim"--in reality an Earl--and these two proceed to fall deeply and rapturously in love with each other. When he learns her identity, a situation of singular power and fascination is developed, which Mrs. Barclay handles in a masterly manner. A most absorbing and unusual story.
