is discovered by Mary Cary TO be adj

happiness of reuniting the threads OF
broken romance and OF assisting ut
,, the real wedding of the lady of the
lovely heart to the only man really
belonging to Mary Cary. her uncle
who had been away from Yorkburg for
thirteen. years. but who came back 10
K It TO find his wife and take into MS
arms the child of his dead sister
who had been living without his
Y knowledge all these years IN an
, orphan asylum.
= The story is as simple and as sweet
s as the fragrance of lilacs or any other
n old-fashioned flowers probably grow

of Yorkburg homes. That Mary Cary:
: original is little Virginia girl ac'
counts for the realism of her saying
=, and doings, gives color to her guam
il comments on people and manners. ant
nuts a point to her observations OF
society as exemplifed in the parlor
10 of Yorkburg's aristocracy. The spiri
= of the child is the spirit of the book
and there is an eternal fitness between
n the two.
