The New York Times of the 18th pub
lished a laudatory review of Professor
Arlo Bates new novel, 1.-THE Puritan. :"
| The reviewer concludes as follows:
''That Mr.. Bates has succeeded in pre-
serving the consistency and naturalness of

when the Back Bay was accustomed to
! affix label to all his men and women,

solemnly questioned whether OR not GER
tain incidents were imaginary. AS it
stands, the novel accurately exhibits a
certain group of Bostonians, children of
the Puritans, but also children of to- day,
devout even in unbelief.''
