HAZEL OF HEATHERLAND. BY Mabel
Barnes-Grundy. New York: The Baker
& Taylor Company. Washington:
Woodward & Lothrop.
BY that subtle intuition which every ex-
perienced follower of fiction acquires the
reader of this dainty story arrives very
early at the conclusion that Miss Hazel OF
Heatherland will eventually fall in love with
big Mr.. Inderwich, whom she met first when
she was small girl and he was a grown
man and he helped her to catch an eel
and to hunt for cookies. And by an extern
sion of that same intuition the reader ex-
poets that between the resumption OF their
acquaintance, when she has grown to wom-
anhood, and their ultimate happiness there
will be misunderstanding and reflections
and what not, dear to every heroine of
fiction. This does not necessarily mean that
the story is conventional or trite. 1t is, on
the contrary, quite delightfully."- original
bit Of writing. 1t presents the viewpoint
of an fmpulsive young Englishwoman who
Is cramped at home by an acidulous elder

mated by that sister. There are some ex-
ceptionally clever passages, that which
describes HazePs awakening to the fact
that she has engaged herself to Che wrong
man, who undertakes to expand her soul
and develop her mind and hold her to his
conception of what wife should be- Ha-
Zefs mother is an achievement in fiction
too seldom brought upon the scene In this
narrative. The whole product Is attractive,
even If the reader can guess what is likely
to happen.
