THE NEW NOVEL “NATHAN BURKE” By MARY S. WATTS. Cloth, $1.50. Don’t be discouraged by the length of “Nathan Burke.” You will read and re-read many times every one of its 628 pages. What is more, your children and grandchildren will also read them, and this can be said truly of few current popular novels. It is unfortunate that you should have been misled into buying many worthless novels by unscrupulous advertise- ments and still more unscrupulous so-called reviews. “Nathan Burke” is different. You will be glad that this advertisement induced you to buy it, and “‘Nathan Burke’’ is published by The Macmillan Company, and our recommendation to you to buy it and read it means something, even in these days, when so many poor novels are widely advertised and exploited. “NATHAN BURKE.” WHAT THE BEST CRITICS SAY “The longer we abide with her triendly group | “Only once in a decade,” says the Boston the more interesting they become and the | Transcrift. “comes a pew novel ‘destioed to more sotry are we to fied the volume in our | endure.” 10 the enthusiasm aroused by the hand growing thicker on its left.
