WE AND OUR NEIGHBORS; Or, THE REC.
0RDS OF AN QUESTIONABLE STREET-By
Harriet Beecher Stowe. u. B. Ford q Co..
New York;
Whatever Mrs. Stowe writes, people
| are glad to read. Although her stories
| with the exception of Uncle Toms Cabin,
| have nothing specially remarkable about
| them, still they are true to nature, and
one reads them as though noting the
| lives OF dear friends. This is particu.
larly the case with 1--WE and Our Neigh.
bOrs." From the moment that we are
introduced in the opening chapter to the
two old ladies who are peeping through
| the window-bllnd to see the new neigh
Dor moving in across the way, we feel
that we are with old acquaintances.
No bad or even disagreeable character
| is introduced into the book. There is a
maiden aunt who Is somewhat otticious,
but wh0means well.
The intent of the story is to show how
American girls, who have sense, may
marty men of limited means, commence
housekeeping in Questionable quarters
and in small way, and yet be highly re.
ful, and add to the pleasure of all whom
they may chance to meet.
Eva Henderson is The model young
housekeeper, to whom we are intro
duced in the first chapter, and we are
taken along through several years of her
welded life, in which she certainly ac-
cOmpliShes a wonderful amount of de-
lightful things. With her one maid of
all work, she entertains most charm
ingly vast amount Of company, and
