conclusion by the publication Of Chill

pletes the long-winded narrative. OF
course everything turns out happily,
and the right men get the right girls.
1t is strange, but juvenile and young
peoples authors seem to be as paricu-

the last page as if they were writing for
adults. However, no one will begrudge
matrimonial or other happiness to the

the series of Chilowee boys is exhausted
is tempered by the remembrance of the
