FRAULEIN ELSE—145 Pages, 81.50
Schnitzler has never written anything to surpass
this, and there are verv few short stories in the
world’s literature we should care to place above
I. W. G. RANDALL
it.
Saturday Review of Literature.
BEATRICE—173 Pages, 81.50
Into a scant 173 pages, Schnitzler crowds more
action than such as Hugh Walpole does in five
complete novels.
—Boston Evening Transcript.
NONE BUT THE BRAVE—30 Pages, 31.25
As amazingly well done as Fraulein Else and it
is more amusing, if not so intense.
—Cincinnati Times-Star.
RHAPSODY—167 Pages, 81.50
This story is one of the most beautiful gifts of
Schnitzler’s muse. The borderland between il¬
lusion and reality is wrapped in shadow so
artistically that we never know exactly whether
Dr. Fridolin actually experienced the fantastie
happenings of that night, when his senses were
still pulsing from the unaccustomed excitement
of the carnival, or whether the visions he sees
are merely the figments of his yearning.
—New Vork Times Book Review.

LIFE and love are games of chance is the hypothesi
underlying DAYBREAK, the latest and perhaps the mos
exciting novelette that Arthur Schnitzler has yet written.
Ayoung army oflicer who might be the average yonn
man seeks to rescue a casual acquaintance from the disgrach
attending on failure to pay his gambling debts. In an effor
to win at cards the sum required to save his friend from selh
destruction, Willi becomes himself involved for an amount tei
times as great. For him the only possible saviour is bi
uncle's young wife who had played a part in a casual amou
of the past.
The whole story takes place within a little more than tw
days, and the game which Willi plays on the second nig
comes to a poignant conclusion at the second daybreak.
the young officer had been willing to accept good fortune whe
it had faced him, or to acknowledge love when it was in b#
arms, there might have been a different conclusion to the gam
of the second night. But Schnitzler, as always, is honest wit
his characters and with his reader, and if the cards secm to
stacked against any one of the participants in this life gambl
they were stached by Fate, the dealer, and not by Schnitzler.
