Margaret Vandegrift's Doris and Theo
dora, a Santa Cruz story for girls, published
by Porter IL Coates, attracts and holds the
readers attention not so much by any intri
cacy of plot or by anything at all sensational
as by certain air of realism which attaches
to the story throughout. Besides this, in
con nection with the story of the two heroines,
the writer has managed to give very graphic
picture of life in Santa Cruz of forty years

of useful information. The style is un-
strained and very refined, hence now and
then bordering on tediousness, but it is an
unobjectionable and very nice book for
girls to read.
