dies when Eva is five years old, and
the child is taken back to England
by her English mother and brought up
in sordid suburb of London in a home
so crudely Philistine that every other
grief heaped upon the poor child seems
but insignificant in comparison with
the barrenness of her surroundings.
She visits at an epigrammatical
! aunt's country place, where she meets
the two inevitable men-the one who
loves her and the one she loves: the
one who loves her is, as usual, of
comparatively little Importance. The
other man, Clayton Seaford, is rather
we'll drawn, the quality of the love
which he eventually gives her is con-
| sistently the outcome of his nature.
| Admiration of her peculiar beauty,
l kindly amusement at her extreme in
I nocence. and a curiosity excited tby
| her unlikeneSs to the other women he
| knew, combined with an easy self-fn-
dulgent desire for the mastery, amid
| favorable surroundings, led to a dec
larat:on of love on his part, honest

wealth and responsibility, Eva Corona
seems to him inappropriate. one
would suppose that Evas resulting
heartbreak, combined with hereditary
consumption which rapidly Develops
and four years of slavish nursing of
the Philistine mother in a hopeless and
frienoless French resort, would have
been enough to dispose of so fragile
a heroine, but in Mrs. PAINS estima-
ton there is required thunderstorm
and stroke of lightning. This violent
death, unnecessary and detached so
completely from the story, has in it
but little art
