Countess Glika and Other Stories by George Warwick Deeping , first published in 1919.
A collection of 5 medium length stories. The first story, Countess Glika is a contemporary (for its time) spy novel, the next 3 stories (The Red Shirt, The Girl on the Mountain, and The Lady of the Terrace ) are all set in the Mediterranean area (Italy and France). The last one, Bitter Silence, concerns a man who didn't volunteer for WWI service for very good reasons but was treated as an outcast by the village and his love interest, for his apparently unpatriotic behavior.
I've learned that The Lady of The Terrace was re-published much later (1928) in Argosy Magazine and The Red Shirt in 1932 in the same magazine. Bitter Silence was also in The Story-Teller Magazine a few years earlier.
