Notes
The HANDY VOLUME ATLAS OF THE WORLD has long enjoyed a large measure of popularity as the most complete and accurate Compendium of Geographical Information of its size published. The evidence of this continued popularity lies in the fact that, since it was first produced under the Editorship of the eminent Geographer, the late Dr. E. G. Ravenstein, no fewer than fourteen large editions have been issued. In this, the FIFTEENTH EDITION, the present Editor has endeavoured to deserve a continuance of that popularity, by making the new issue of the Atlas a complete SURVEY of POST-WAR GEOGRAPHY, exhibiting, in their natural order, the territorial changes and political changes throughout the World effected by the Peace Treaties and Agreements following the Great War. -- Excerpt from Preface, p. v

Abstract
As the flames playing about the burning driftwood logs weave together many beautiful shades and colorings, so in this collection of verse, the author presents many delightful phases of fancy and imagination, skilful tone-colorings and word melodies. Mrs. Mackay has a sensitive ear for the music of words and an instinctive feeling for rhythm. She has both imagination and humor, and a keen appreciation of the wonderful and the beautiful. Many of the lyrics in this collection have a universal emotional appeal while others reproduce with accuracy and fidelity a distinctively Canadian background and atmosphere. The author's many admirers will eagerly welcome this volume. -- From interior dust jacket

Abstract
Bernice Iverson is a she-devil who runs away from her husband to San Francisco where she begins work in a business office. There she meets Dominick Ryan, a rich young man, whom she seduces and marries. When she proves unable to force her way into the rich social circle in which the Ryan's belong, she becomes infuriated and reveals her true character. Horrified, Dominick flees San Francisco in the depth of winter and goes to a mountain hotel. On the way. he encounters a terrible snow storm and is overcome by the cold. He is rescued by a volunteer search party and is carried to the hotel where he is nursed back to health by Rose, the beautiful daughter of old Bill Canon, who soon falls in love with Dominick. The story concludes in dramatic fashion as Bernice tries to manipulate the situation while Dominick struggles to free himself from her so he can marry Rose.
