THE DUKE'S PRICE
By Demetra and Kenneth Brown

With illustrations in color by A. G. Learned. 12mo, $1.20 net. Postage extra.

International marriage novels have been many of late, even as the numberof American girls marrying abroad has increased, but this one is strikinglydifferent from the type that has become almost hackneyed. The heroine, abeautiful girl, the daughter of a New York multi-millionaire, marries aFrench Duke, and goes to live with him in the ancestral château. So far, thesituation is familiar. But this Duke is not the melodramatic villain too oftenseen. He is a gentleman and a good fellow,and in the misunderstandings thatarise the reader's sympathy is evenly dividedbetween the lonely wife and theproud and unhappy young Duke. Thedevelopment of the story is of absorbinginterest, leading to an exciting andthoroughly satisfactory climax. Not theleast of the attractions of the story is thatthe authors know the world that they writeabout. Mrs. Kenneth Brown (DemetraVaka) will be remembered as the author of"Haremlik," the brilliant study of the lifeof Turkish women which was one of themost notable and successful books of 1909.The collaboration of the Kenneth Brownsis one of the most interesting literarypartnerships in contemporary fiction.Kenneth Brown numbers among his books"Eastover Court House," "Sirocco," andother successful novels.
