The May Atlantic will open with the
first installment of audrey" Miss
Mary Johnston's new romance. Like
Prisoners of Hope and ''To Have and
To Hold' it is Virginian story, but
it is laid in the eighteenth instead OF the
seventeenth century The life of Col
onial Virginia has been growing more
rich and picturesque, if less strenuous
in martial enterprise. We are intro
duced to the stately mansions that still
adorn the banks of the James River,
and to the lively capital Of Williams
burg. Typical figures in this complex
and any-charactered story are the wit
ty Col. Byrd cd of Westover, and his
daughter Evelyn, the famous beauty.
The orphaned girl Audrey, whose name
gives the title to the book, is, weare in
clined to believe, the most vital and fas-
chatting parsonage created by Miss
Johnstson's imagination. Indeed, this
latest story revels everywhere maturity
of observation, joined with profound
ly poetic Interpretation of nature and
of human passion. Accurate as is it's
rendering of historic scenes and per-
sons, faithfully as it records the lowell
ness of tide water Virginia, the power
of Audrey lies in its appeal to that
instinct for true romance which abides
III every unspoiled heart. 1t will prove
a memorable serial.
