italngton, March 5.?Senator Joseph
jjjpixon. chairman of the Roosevelt Ex

A New Danby Novel
Joseph in Jeopardy
By
"Frank Danby" (Mrs. Julia Frankau)
Author of " The Heart of a Child; ' ' "Sebastian; ' ' "life
of Lady Emma Hamilton;" "Pigs in Clover/* etc.
A brilliant young man exposed to subtle and intellectual
temptations resists them successfully in many dramatic and
striking situations. The clever and well-bred manipulation
of delicate themes, the wit, humor and epigram which distin?
guish this versatile author's previous successes, 'Tigs in
Clover," "The Heart of a Child," etc. are manifested in g
higher degree in this, her latest novel.
The New "York Tribune says:
"This is far and away the best novel that Mrs Frankau
has yet written certainly a notable one, first of all, for
its finished workmanship and unflagging interest, and in the
second place, on account of its unmistakable purpose."
The Ne<w Ycrk Wrrtd says:?
'The book itself is in many ways remarkable We prefer
it over any previous work from the same pen"
