decide the elementary virtues Of Hazel KIks.
1t is a sweet, pure, simple sorry of cur

gloom, its bright colored hopes and
is shaded sorrows. Its sentiments
are pure, and its truths are the truths Of
every day experience. 1t ia lile-picture
transferred from the brush of insp ration to
the canvas Of charming realism. II lives
among the plays that men will see and zee
