1ne van DMcllerS, Dy Albert biz
low Paine, is an amusing recital Of the
search OF a family for a home In a
large city. with the incidental aggraya-
tons attendant upon frequent movings'
furnishings, etc, with experiences with
vans, janitors, landlords, localities. etc.
the whole being told with a humor that
keeps the readers sensibillties con-
stantly In play. The author wrote that
thrilling bit OF realistic romance 'The
Bread Line" which attracted much
attention some two or three years
ago, and this second effort though dif
ferent IN nature, has the same evil
dences Of literary ability that made the
Bread Line" stand out among the
many productions Of the time. +.
