Babs is perhaps a more thoroughly difficult
young person than either of the twins, but, like
them, she is original and lovable Through the
many pages of this volume she her
own impetuOus gait. bubbling with mischief
and, pretty frequently, with laughter. The story
is full of brightness to be traced to her bizarre
character it is animated by her brisk presence
and droll impertnerces. The author is too seri-
Gus to rest content with the portrayal of
erratic and charming girl, dancing along to
please herself. she takes pains to put some
effective shadows into the book Babs learns to
know sorrow, and we leave her at the end of the
book feeling pretty sure that while she will ul-
timately attain the happiness fitted to her nat
ure, she will reach it through the right proc
esses, learning, through experience wisdom
we'll as joy The book has that tinge of exag-
geration which it seems difficult for Nine Grand
to escape. Jellybond Tinney is often divert
ing, but we cannot say that he strikes as be-
ing on the whole credible The main point
though, is the exposition of the engaging traits
of Babs, and here, we have said, Nine. Grand
is in good vein and does herself credit from be-
ginning to end.
| In the novel first published in magazine form
under the title of April Showers but now
brought out under the name of the New Hamp-
shire village in which its scene is laid, Kings
End Miss Brown has used with decided sue
cess the abilities which she has SO often shown
in her short stories of New England life. 1t is,
as said at the time of its first appearance a
good and not too ambitious story of American
rural character and happening. Humor and
happiness pl2y over it's groundwork of shrewd
understanding of bucoIic traits, and a del:
poetic fancy softens many a sordid detail. Miss
Brown has keen insight into New England
character. and has, in fact. the right to be con-
| sidered one Of the best Of our authors dealing
with that material. This book is o satisfactory
| that We should be glad to find the author at
tempting something even more important
studying masculine character meanwhile for her
women are wrought out with more skill than her
men.

Miss Keats is faithful in her third book to the
vein of sadness which she exploited with so
much power in both its predecessors. The
scene of The White Cottage is laid in a fish
ing village on the English coast. Sunlight must
visit such place but if "Zack" sees it at all 1t
is only as a foil to the tragic gloom in which
she prefers TO wrap her characters. The only
concession she will make to the lighter side of
life is in the introduction of fragments OF viii
