ii Tho review says:
a. This story deals, In an unusually IN,
#teresting way, with the friendships ana
love affairs OF four women, who, united
4 by tho common necessity OF earning q
living, grew to love and understand each
other as only those can who, cherish the
\ Same high ideals Of life and who WITH
mutual tastes and sympathies endeaNor
10 express these ideals In their daily
rounds Of work and pleasure. Into the
lives OF each Of these women, llvlne'thus
4 together as one family, come men whose
pleasant friendships inevitably rIpen into
II love, and threaten to disrupt Spnsters
Hall, az these women called their home
How this love. or these loves, grew and
with what success they met, the story
proceeds to unfold. There are few ex-
ternal and objective cfimaxes, but in al
most every chapter there are dramatic
CONDITIONAL episodes which absorb the at
tentlon. In this point lies the difference
between when Love is Love- and most
of the modern love fiction Here the
Interest Of the story does not lie In eX-
Eternal development, In sudden turns OF
plot, In surprises sprung by the author
on his reader. in any objective suspense,
but rather In the portrayal Of a pure and
\ great love as it really comes to man.
naturally inevitably, Overwhelmingly
flooding life with happiness and peace.
And the love portrayed here Is not the
love OF physical passion, Of the lower
&nppetites which degrades SO many present
novels OF society, but the love Of women
II such as keep eternally alight the fire
NJ Of love and purify and truth; with whom
Il love is an altar that should be sacredlY:
guarded from unlloly offerings
This Is one of those stories which owe
more to their emotional values than to
nero plot. Often plot is but the frame,
The skeleton upon which the novel grows,
III Of little worth until filled out with that
flesh and blood Of the emotions, that
rich tissue Of suggestion which leaps
5full-born from the brain Of the writer
& deeply versed in life. AS among men
YOU come across personalities that are
full and deep and rich with untold emo
n tions, SO in literature you find here and
there a style which CLOVIS with this
I fullness OF life and feeling, whose beau
ties are drawn from an ineXhaustible
mine Of fvitalized material, deep as has
sE leen tho life OF Its author. Here Is
such STYLE and above all enjoyment OF
plot and narrative, you are stirred to
the depths Of your nature by the human
values of this story by the wealth OF
sSthe emitional experience.
