The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-10-27
some New Fiction.

A very pleasant, readable tale has been
added to the mass Of Canadian "kailyard'
literature in Marian Keith's The Silver
Maple" Gleming H. Revell Company.
There Is life and vigor In her Scots Of the
Ontario back cOuntry-of their dialect
we are incompetent to judge-the incidents
are natural, the pathos genuine. Plenty
OF open air and simple frontier life. The
Canadian on III Nile has not been
introduced before In fiction and his appear
ance here IL effective. II IL q pity. however,
TO drag the WORKOUT long lost heir theme
into a story that does not depend on sen-
sation for its interest.
A pretty idea Is developed with q good
deal Of taste and q thorough knowledge
bv Blanche Elizabeth Wade a, c. McClurg
A Co., Chicago. The passion Of q small
bow for abeautiful young woman and her
/ co~mprehensiou Of all the by-ways Of youth
ful fancy are told PRETTY. There h too
much Of the book, however; at a certain
point the authors imagination fails her;
she cannOt carry her characters my further
and falls back on miscellaneous descrip-
tons Of house fuTnishings and somewhat
forced playfulness With musical terms,
with which, unfortunately, abe IN not az
familiar an she might be-. The beroine's
taste for green peppers 10 made 70 take
undue Importance. Though the Omission
of any hin at a love story h 70 be COM
msnded, the reader must feel that tho small
BOYS natural family ties are suppreased
unduly and that the story is getting into
q tMngle 40 the end.
