The Democrat will shortly begin the
publication as q serial of the story,
Ibis Courtship," by Helen r. Martin.
This is a story the scene Of which is
among the pennsylvania Dutch" and
il abounds in local color, and for that
reason il no other is of much interest.
Further than that, though, it is one of
the sweetest and wholesomest stories
ever written. To be perfectly frank, it
is improbable to the point of being fan
tastic, but that only slightly detracts
| from it's artistic value, and it observes
the unities much better and is much
farther within the limits of possibility
than the average modern play.
