ON THE BOOK TABLE.

Orioles Daughter is the title of a
story by Jessie Fothergill that has
just been published by Lowell, Coryell
e Co., of New York. Minna Hastings,
a young widow with a great deal of in
dependence, suddenly finds herself
thrown cut of the very comfortable
lodgings which she had made her home
for some time, on account of the sud-
den decision made by her housekeeper
to fly from the cares of housekeeping,
and take up her abode with a married
daughter. Mrs. Hastings was in Rome
to study art, alone save for one woman
friend and young cousin. To the
latter she appealed in her dilemma and
he promptly recommended his own
pensione, where Minna very soon found
herself installed. The manager and
head of this peculiar household inter-
ested her not a little, the more SO from
the fact that he was out of all SYM
pathy with his occupation and sur
roundings. The motive for the inter-
est that Sgr. Giuseppe took in this ex-
traordlnary establishment is explained
some little time later when Signora
Dietrich, the mistress of the house and
her daughter F'ulVia return from a trip
Minna Hastings takes a greater inter-
est than ever in the unfortunate man,
who is the slave of the dreadful Sig
nora, who persiStently persecuteS not
only him but her youthful and inno-
cent daughter winding up her villainy
by marrying the girl to a scoundreI
because he has money and will pay her
debts. The two characters, the father,
SCR. Orioles, and Minna Hastings are
very well drawn, and the book is in
teresting throughout. The poor child,
F'ulvia, after living with her husband
for some years is obliged to leave him
and she and her father return to their
native land, from which they had both
been driven to England by circum-
stances soon after the story opens.
