YEAR OF LIFE; Novel. By William Samuel
Lilly. New York: John Lane.
Some OF the least admirable phases OF
English society life are here depicted in a
love story which introduces a strange mix
ture Of personages Of high and low degree
and of pure and debased ideals. The por-
traits are clearly drawn. though in some
instances rather ioridly colored. The story
has certain strength Of rendition, even

satisfactory roundup at the climax. 1t
contains about one chapter too many for
true dramatic effect.
