"The Panther"
By Anne Warn

By Anne Warner. Published by Small, May
aaio tu-. Boston Price S1.25.
Is 1t possible that Anne Warner, who
wrote Susan Clegg and Seeing Eng
land With Uncle John" has written
this tale of temptation? 1t sounds not
q, particle like her. but that does not
necessarily condemn il entirely. The
horrible pictures are the first shock, for
they 90 not convey the authors thought
in the least.
The tale is of a woman who is at
first cold. She has never loved. Then
comes the man and he tries TO rouse
her interest. The general growth of
her feeling for him is symbolized by
the panther, which is at first a f1eeting
shadow and which develops day by day
into little kitten, then larger and
larger until it is a huge panther. The
panther shows what is in her heart
and in the climax he disappears after
tearing her heart from her bosom. The
idea has not been carefully developed
and the writing is strained and un-
natural.
