 Branford, Feb. 1.-The two children of John Erickson who have been i'll with the diphtheria for three days, and who have been treated with the anti-toxIne, are reported to be improving to-day.

The. children who attend the school and who live in the neigh borhood where the diphtheria patients are have been forbidden to come to school until the two patients have en- tirely recovered from the disease.

living goddess, but a dead sketch in
clay, and very much out of drawing
at that. She does not move even
when the creator pulls the wires
most frantically. s.
One reason for this chilling fail
ure is that in his desire to be real
istic and to include all the facts of
existence, Mr.. Garland has sinned
unpardonably against the laws of
proportion. His heroine is, he says,
brilliantly gifted in mind and soul,
as well as beautiful, and then he
proceeds to portray her life with such
stress upon the incidents of her
physical development that it is i'm
possible for the repelled reader to
realize her in any other aspect. The
effect produced is as grotesque and
distorted as in certain badly focused
photographs, where the hand ap-
pears twice as large as the head. To
exaggerate the prominence of the
physical side of life is a more seri-
Gus offense against realism than any
sentimental romanticist ever commit
ted, for such a one is at least grap-
ing blindly to express the fact that
man Is fundamentally a spiritual be-
ing. Save on the last page, nothing
that Rose says or does rises above
the mediocre. The reader is left hope
1essly unimpressed by her genius.
She behaves like very common
sort of girl with a good deal Of self
will and an ugly temper-which is
not in the least the impression her
creator meant to make.
At times Mr.. Garland's bad taste
rises to genius, it is so absolute, so
supreme. But perhaps taste is not
one of the things that can be ac-
quired, and, leaving out the hero
inc, there is a good deal to enjoy in
the book. The old farmer father,
devoted to his one child, is a fine
figure, and an impressive one, and

1.-THE One Who Looked On is one
of the rare books which can be read
with great pleasure and recon-
mended absolutely without reserva-
ton. 1t is fresh, pure, sweet and pa
thetic, with a pathoS which is per-
fectly wholesome. De Maupassant's
definition of a short story, 'a corner
of life seen through a tempera-
ment," applies to this unpretentious
little tale which relates the events Of
few months in London as seen by
a young girl who goes with her little
cousins to the house of their guar
dian. She throws herself into the
lives of others, and it is through her
interests that her own character is
subtly and artistically defined.
While by virtue of the subject mat
ter it is primarily book for girls Of
eighteen or twenty, the delicate art
of it's construction and the charming
limpidity of it's style will make it
boon to novel-readers of a greater
age, to whom, indeed, it will come
with the grace of draught of cold
water after the hot and highlyspiced
cups which it is popular to serve just
now under the name of fiction. The

Vigorous young writer can find of
defrauding the public of their due.
Mr.. Hamlin Garland owes the public
a Western novel of the first order.
He owes it partly as atonement for
the half-baked productions of his
early years, and partly as justifica-
tion for his own theories about the
literature that shall come out of the
West, but more because, unless all
signs fail. he is capable of producing
a book which shall fully embody the
