Rosa Nouchette Careys latest novel,
''The Old, Old Story" is, as the title
/ suggests an orthodox love tale. It
begins, indeed, with loss and trial, but
ends with wedding bells and happiness
for everyone concerned. Miss Carey's
realism is very limited in it's scope.
She is faithful to the details of every
day life which she chronicles with an
almost religious minuteness, but it's
sordid spirit escapes her-perhaps in
tentionally, for, after all, the spirit of
everyday life is less agreeable than
the atmosphere Of happy improbability
which surrounds this popular writer's
domestic stories. THE Old, Old Story
is one of the best, as well as one of the
longest which she has published of

would have grown into a wrinkled and

stead OF becoming the lady of the
manor has nothing to do with the
youthful readers enjoyment of a pretty
story.
