Stokes, entitled 1.-THE Flute Of the
Gods" This is an Indian novel. true
to life in every respect, and filled with
an atmosphere of charm. 1t may al
most be called the first really accurate
Indian novel. for our attitude toward
the Indian has always been either one
of sentimental exaltation or unreason-.
