honors Thomas Nelson Page has we'll won honor and distinction as an author, and his previous delightful stories be- speak for this book a big welcome. The pictures of social life in the south are exquisite, and a subtle charm pervades the story throughout. While the book is written from the southern standpoint of view of the turmoil, strife and social upheaVals of the reconstruction days, and the southern characters presented are of the ideal type and the carpet bagging element is presented at it's worst, there is yet liberality of view in the treatment of the subject, and the fact that there were true and noble minded men and maidens at the north Is admirably admitted and due credit given. The book has much of merit as historical picture of days that tried mems souls, even though the great war had ended, and Red Rock" will be read with delight by many thousands of peo- | pie.
