THE LITERARY FIELD.

Lads Love-" by S. n. Crockett. D.
Appleton Co., publishers, New YORK,
Cloth. price. s1.50.
The author OF the Lilac Sunbonnet'
has given us another fresh and charming
story In Lads Love" The title of his
novel is taken from the old name for the
scented wormwood. or Southernwood,
sprig OF which wooers used TO wear when
they went counting in Scotland. Mr..
Crockett's new story pictures the various
humors. idyls. loves and tragedies OF
moorland life in Scotland, well nigh half
century ago. 1t is novel OF the old
fashioned wholesome. nourishing kind.
With pure minded. eound-henrtel hero
and heroine who is merely good and
beautiful woman. The Neither Neuk
lasses" were the bonniest of the parish,
and had lovers by the score. Their ad-
ventures were well worth relating. and
Mr. Crockett has described them with the
magic touch OF a man who has tho genius
Of narrative, making the varied incidents
dow naturally and rapidly in stream

His Fortunate Grace" by Gertrude
Anterior d. Appleton g. Co.. publishers.
New York.
A story that is intended to ridicule tho
American habit of buying titled foreigners
by marrying them to heiresses OF this
country. His Fortunate Grace" was an
English duke who found an American Girl
whose family was willing to give the
modest sum Of s5.o00,000 for his name.
and the marriage was consummated. The
story hinges upon the opposition OF the
girls father and the mothers schemes to
bring about tho desired result. The novel
as a whole is very well written, but con-
tains entirely too much slang, and is often
imperfect in form and careless IN style.

ceIyed from the Oliver Diston company.
