The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-10-02

The MORNING NEWS will begin the
publication of a serial story next Sunday
entitled That House in Bloomsbury, -
by Mrs. OHphant. The story is domes-
tic one, and will be read with delight in
the home circle. Around a quaint old
house in Bloomsbury and chiefly in con-
nection with its modern inhabitants, Mrs
Oliphant has built up a cheerful and at
tractive literary creation, full of life, pic
turesqueness and character.
The suggestion of mystery is well-main-
tanned throughout, and the love interest,
which, in Mrs, Oliphant's stories, is never
lacking, is, in this instance, more than
ordinarily attractive, the romance of the
story springing into being amidst most
unlikely surroundings.
Margaret o. w. Oliphant has won an
enyiable reputation in the world of let
tiers as judicious biographer, a charm
ing novelist, and a general writer of
strong individuality. 1t is not easy to
say wherein consists the unmistakable
touch of genius in her work, but it is un-
doubtedly there.
She always seems to strike the right
vein, and to use the right words. Her
composition is at all times vigorous, and
meyer obscure.
"That House in Bloomsbury" will also
appear in the WEEKLY News.

the lease system will not last much
longer.
What particularly interests the people
