The publication Of Meadow Grass and
Tiyerton Tales brought to Miss Brown
a host Of admirers, and her more re-

her circle OF readers.
In her new novel The Mannerings
she has chosen a fresh scene ana q
style more powerful and emotional than
that Of her earlier books. The story
passes in or near a charming country
house. remote from towns. though the
commercial interests OF a great city are
In the background Of the picture. The

which involves a double love story, Is
ingenious and unhackneyed. IN short.
