Mrs. Eugene Hamerton's novel is entitled
Golden Mediocrity. Omitting the adjective,
the name is happily descriptive, for anything
more commonplace and dull than the whole
story can scarcely be conceived. The Eng
lish is hopelessly confused and incorraet;;
-, Tor certain refined and
sprightly tone that pervades its pages Mrs.
Hamerton's book must sink to the level of
the most crude and amateurish of works.

meat at our house, and cold roast is of no
account anyway" And vet this wOman'S

who earned his bread by the sweat of his
brow, and the consumed roast contained
meat enough, if properly prepared, for three
or four breakfasts. for small family. To
