THE HOUSE AT eoWANUs.

CROw-STEP BY Georgia Fraser. i2rno,
PIP. 3e3. New York: Witter kintner.
Miss Fraser is the historian OF the
stone House at Gowanus,' the centre
of the battle of Long Island. one of the
vanished landmarks of our Revolution
ary period This novel may be consid-
cred as a sort of by-product of her in
vestigations. and continues the story OF
the house after the end of the War for
independence. Its owner, according TO
this tale is a Dutch-American, an ar
dent loyalist. whose younger daughter
is wooed by an erstwhile English officer,
wooed secretly and all but abducted
The. girl is stopped on the eve of setting
sail for England with her lover. where,
he has told her. the wedding will take
place. He sails alone, promising to re-
turn TO claim her. The part played by
the father in the subsequent events and
the unfolding of the ultimate destiny of
the girl fill the pages that follow with
a tale that is simple in plot. and de-
pends upon calm realism rather than
upon romance for its interest. The au-
thor describes at length the daily life of
the period on a Long Island Dutchmans s
farm, and gives an occasional glimpse Of
the New York of that day.

extraordinary proceeding He is assured

whereupon he is fined another 5000.

that his life is in danger. also his lib
