Mr.. Fox, like Miss Murfree and Jane,
Lane Allen, whites directly from per
sonal observation, and his character,
are closely and sympathetically de
fined. In "Hell fer Sartin" he pre-
sents some delightful short studies,
and in his latest novel he contrasts
the widely different phases of life
among the mountaineers and among
the people of the "Blue-Grass. The
difference, by the way, between The
two regions, in spite of the excellent
work of the Kentucky writer's, does
not seem to be understood 10y many
readers. No one, however, can fail
to appreciate this on reading "The
Kentuckians." Mr.. Fox is himself a
"Blue.GrasS" man, but from living at
various times hI.Ae-c--- el4o-nI nIOuuUdTn-
eers he has acquired very warm re-
gard for them and an intimate ac-
quaintance with their habits.
