A LOVE STORY OF LOUISIANA.

The Little Chevaliei is a love story
of Louisiana colonial lha -iiy Mrs NJ E
NJ. Davis. better known a. the South as
Mrs Mollie Moore Davis No one is
better fitted to write story of the
early days of New Orleans than this
talented author, and the story of The
Little Chevalier" is a dainty and win
some bit of fiction. with a good deal of
history woven into the plot 1t deals
with an old family quarrel and two
young people representing their respec-
tive families IL 4 :esw' land. Out OF this
somewhat hackneyed material a really
fresh romance has been evolyed-fresh
as regards the characters of Henri and
Diane. the young peorle in question. and
the incidents and byplay TO which their
relations give rise. 1t may be, of course,
just the same sort on romance we have
read before. but did anybody ever find
fault with an unusually exquisite las
mine flower since the worli began?
Those who would wander a while In
Louisiana gardens. amid the airy CO.

LIKE THE oTEfRs.

Little joan is the title Of the latest
novel by John Strange Winter, the name
being taken from that of the heroine.
who Is a member OF one of those large
English families. The picture Of the
pleasant domestic life of this household
is the only especially entertaining thing
in the book. Joan is an attractive hero
ine. but she has the unaccountable bad
taste to fall in love with a man called
OzZie Mainwaring. 1t really seems Is II
any girl Of sense could avoid having a
lover whom she calls "Ozzie," even II
his Christian name does happen TO be
Oswald
However. she has the good taste to
fall out OF love with him after while,
and likes somebody else better. TO the
American reader the idea most promi-
nent in the book Will seem to be the high
value which the English people place
upon money. In this, as i'm a good many
other novels OF English society life. we
find the young officer OF good family.
who has no brains whatever for any
thing outside his business, and Is quite
ready 10 sell himself for a fortune.

TWO FORD RoMArcFs

"A Checked Love Affair IS the title
of a daintily bound volume containing
two of the last stories written by Paul
Leicester Ford One gives its name to
the book, the other is called The Cor
telyou Feud," and they are both sood.
They are romances of New York So
ciety. Of the sort which Mr.. Fard could
write so cleverly and with so tight and
graceful a fancy. and they are favored
with humor, as all Of his best work was.
The book Is further blessed with an ar
tfstic cover design and broad marginal
decorations happily conceived and skill
fully treated.
Much of it's attractiveness. however, IS
due to the Illustrations by Harrison
Fisher Mr.. Fisher is quite in his eie-
ment when doing this sort OF work, and
his favorite type OF young woman fits
the personality Of each of these heroines
like glove. Moreover, he has appar-
emily taken pains 10 suit the pose and
expression Of the people 10 the mood
they are supposed to be in. and not. al
ways is the illustrator go considerate.

who won place rs d writer of this
sort of literature with a charming little
book. entitled "A Romance of the

of this later book is that tiiS stories are

story is only glimpse out of a life
The author has the rare talent of leav-
Ing off too soon
Jean:iA Portrait is perhaps a shade
better than some of the others. It is a
study of a little Highland lassie who
sang Scotch love-sonss and meant them
all for her father, and went barefoot.
SILVA the Preserver'' presents TO us a
college professors son born the same
year as the "Barrack-Room Ballads. -

mere sketch, but wonderfully captivat-

Peg" the episode OF a little thorough

Children in New Orleans.

'Thistledown." by Mrs. c. V. Jami-

calls the dainty grace and charm of the
authors first book. Lady Jane" Mrs
Jamison is a writer for children rare in
her generation, because she never for
gets 20 be an artist. She not only tells
the story simply and well. but presents
a perfect picture of New Orleans life
The opening scene takes place in that
park known to New Orleans people as
the Wes'. End. where cafes. acrobatic
exhibitor, an open-air theater and
many cu.er attractions entertain a cos
mopolitan throng of people.
Two Of the PRINCIPAL characters of the
story. an old French lady and her lit

the acquaintance Of ''Thistledown." a
boy acrobat whose guardian, a brutal
old Italian. treats him with a harshness
which excites their sympathy. The
home of the boy en- one of the little
islands of the Gulf, the home OF Mig

ment and beauty, the characteristic
French restaurant, lie Chat Girls, are
all described in the succeeding chapters
with a skill which is sure TO appeal 10
the quick fancy OF a child. 1t is a
thoroughly delightful story. (New York:
