this book since 1t was first published
under another title, "The Flower that
Grew in the Sand" the number now be-
ing twelve. From a predatory note we
read that Puget Sound lies in its emer-
aid setting like great blue sapphire,
which at sun set draws to its breast all
the marvellous and splendid coloring OF
the fire opal. Around it, shining through
the rose-colored mists like pearls upon
the soft blue or green of the sky, are
linked the great snow mountains. so
beautiful and so dear that those who
love this land with a proud and pa ssion-
ate love, have come to think Of 1t, fondly
and POLITICALLY. as the land Of the snow
pearls.
This passage shows the deep senti-
ment of the writer of these tales, and
gives the basis for the choice Of title. On
the whole 1t is volume which has been
praised In rather unusual measure The
stories have reminde ed some critics of the
earlier efforts Of Miss wilkins, but it
must be said that the resemblance is
| slight. Miss Wilkins, Miss Jewett and
! other famous, writers have not only more
native skill than is here evidenced, but
| more breadth and dramatic power. This
volume of sketches, slight though they
be, are excellent, and deserve the endur-
ing form given them in this handsome e
volume, but they must not be unduly
praised-that is, over-praised. Some
thing longer and better we have right
to expect from this pen some day. A fine
new field is shown us by this first CLEAN
er, and there Is richer harvest in pros
pect.
