in the book is equally bright, and has
the same stage setting, is told in the
same way by letters, and is of "Penel-
ope's English Experience" In this
delightful story three American
girls are in London. Francesca, Sale
nina and Penelope. ''Salemina is a
philanthropist, of the Boston philan-
thropists, limited. Penelope is an
artist, and Francesca is-well, 1t is
very difficult to label Francesca"
The view of English servants, especially
footmen, given III the book is unique,
and the effect of Dawson on the man
ners and comfort of our travellers is
very amusing. Millie Beresford. an
American, appears and puts English
noblemen, an artistic vocation and
hoped-for fame out OF the artists mind.
1--WE are making history very fast,
Mile Beresford and L, :" she says, ''but
much OF it is sacred history, so | cannot
chronicle it for any ones amusement"

"Orioles' Daughter,"by Jessie Fother-
glll,is a remarkably strong story Those
who have read THE First Violin' and
"a March in the Ranks" or 'Proba-
tion," have an idea of the style and
finish OF the authors work. and this her
last story (alaS! her very last, for the
hand that penned and the brain that
conceived these burning words lis cold
and StllD is far superior to either of the
former ones. The scene of the story
or rather the first part of it's laid in
Rome, and is so wildly local in tone
and cOloring that, reading it. one can
almost feel the fervid heat OF the South
ern sun and see the majestic beauty of
the old, old part of the proud old city.
Inc leading, or perhaps one should say
the older leading feminine character,
Mlnna Hastings, is an English woman
who, by death, had been made not only
free and independent, but sat apart as
one who looks ON at this play called
lie, but was not herself an actor in it,,
and lived in Rome and studied sculp-
ture. There also lived her young
half-German cousin. Hans Bic
man, an artist. Through Hans,
Minna goes to the Casa
Dietrich. semi-Bobemian lodging or
boarding house, where she meets
most remarkable man in a most re-
markable position, called Signor Gut
Seppe Orioles" who has a wonderful
attraction for her. A certain Signora
Dietrich Is mentioned, who proves to be
the mistress of the house, and who
comes home from visit to Milan,
bringing her beautiful ixteen-year-old
daughter Fulvia with her. Minna falls
in love with the gill, as lonely women
Will, and is fearfully amazed at the
appearance of a little beast of man,
who intends to marry her spite of her
hatred for him, called Marchmont. The
mother, Sign0ra Dietrich, favors his
SUIT on account of the money he will
give her. and the marriage is made and
all the pititul consequences that follow
are told in Jessie FothergiPs best style.

1.-The Missionary" is the rather I'M
usual title OF a collection of poems, suit
able, as the author, Charles II. Freer,
thinks, for recitation. The first poem
in the book is called THE Bandit Chief,
| or the Missionary's Doom" 1t is some
what blood-curdling, but might be used
as recitation. The aim of the author
Is to bring about harmony between the
North and South, and these poems IL
used as Rotations are warranted to
| have that effect. American Publishers
