She was impersonated by unscrupulous impostors. It was asserted and then denied that she was an American; then -followed the statement that she was an Englishwoman. It is now known that Mrs. Hungerford is Irish, with more than an ordinary proportion of wit and imagination. Her "Wild Irish Girls," it has been remarked, are capital company. The books by Mrs. Hungerford owe their popularity to their freshness, brightness, lightness and other pleasureable characteristics, all of which are combined in the highest degree in LADY VERNER'S FLIGHT. The new story is a light, airy romancej the style is sprightly, unaffected and energetic; the plot contains just that amount of complexity to make its gradual development delightful; and the characters particularly the women are drawn with that mixture oi -realism and idealism which the grea majority of readers prefer to the cold, hard matter-of-fact methods adopted by some writers of eminence. LADY VERNER'S PLIGHT Will reveal Mrs. Hungerford's powers to great advantage. The heroine always the most interesting character in a story is at once brought be fore the reader, and curiosity is aroused in her surroundings, ambi tions, hopes and fears. The course of the story will reveal many un expected surprises and situations, and a powerful novel of modern life will be perused to the last page with breathless interest PUBLICATION WILL BEGIN IN ' THE DISPATCH, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23. - L ,, 3&,iA&i.iaL,?'ri iimn i rimraTiT TTimriiBMi' "wart wr..iT.Ti $ v ffifi"TfyTigr9fci
