Street & Smith, New York, begin anew series of novels—“The Primrose Library”’—with ‘‘Another Man’s Wife,” by Bertha M. Clay. The story has enough plot to keep one from falling asleep over it, and it also in- dicates the stumbling-blocks and pitfalls Which abound everywhere for young husbands and wives who think so much about having “a goed time” that they have no time left in which to think about reputation and character.—N. Y. Herald, Sept. 10. Street & Smith publish the American copyright novel, ‘Another Man’s Wife,” by Bertha M. Clay. It deals with certain corrupting influences of fashionable society, and impressively warns of the dangers that spring from them. Its plot is strong and dramatic, and is elaborated with all of the qualities of style that have made the author so popular. It is the first issue of the new Primrose Series.—Boston Globe, Sept. 16. “Another Man’s Wife,” by Bertha M. Clay, Street & Smith’s Primrose Series, is alaudable effort toward the repression of the growing evil of matrimonial disloyalty. The book is handsomely bound, with a holiday look about it.—Brooklyn Eagle, Sept. 16. Street & Smith of New York publish in cloth cover ‘‘Another Man’s Wife,” by Bertha M. Clay. The story is effective. It impressively depicts the results certain to attend the sins of deception. It teaches a lesson that will not be lost upon those thoughtless men and women: who, only intent upon pleasure, little dream of the pitfall-before them, and to which they are blind until exposure wrecks happiness.—Zroy (N. Y.) Press. Street & Smith, New York, have brought out in book-form “Another Man’s Wife.” This is one of Bertha M. Clay’s most effective stories.— Cincinnati Enquirer. ‘‘Another Man’s Wife.” This is oneof Bertha M. Clay’s most effective stories.
