 ing to the E. P. Roe and Sarah Grant
 type, while it is also suggestive o1
 Ouida's novels as regards the faults ant
 foibles of several of the principal char
 acters- mismated ladies of high rank
 as well as lords and dukes. "Hel
 Grace's Secret" is revealed at the end
 of the story dramatically. The old
 Duke of Glenroy with his vast estates
 his pride, his ambition, his gout and
 his frascibility, is a well drawn and
 strong character, as is also that of his son, Lord Arlington which is eytremely lifelike A very effective scene is that
 where Lady Felicia, Lord Arlington s
 wife, effectually humbles her highness the Princess Caroin whose undue inti- macy with Lord Arlington had become much-talked of scandal and the open ness of which had even shocked Lord Arlngton's father, the Duke. "All of Felicia's birth, breeding, pride and self-control was summoned instantly in the encounter with the shameless princess who had sought out Felicia to wound her pride by the announcement that she had accomplished her desire, the complete subjection of Lord Arling- ton, who was tQ leave with her on a pleasure trip to St. Petersburg on the morrow, although his fathers mansion was full of guests assembled for great fete. Princess Carolin's discontinue was complete and she left the next day for St. Petersburg without Lord Airing tons company. It may be well to note that her highness, Princess Carolin, when she appeared before Lady Airing ton ''came forward like lovely Ores den shepherdness, in her old brocaded Vatican, her high heels, her tiny waist, and her charming head, decked with glittering jewels, poised like flower on her white neck.'
