Dr. David BY Marjorie Benton Cooke.
Illustrated by Monte Crews. Published
by A. c. McClurS &; Co, Chicago.
This novel, by the author of g The
Girl Who Lived in the Woods, - is,
like that, free from conventionality
and strongly contending for free life
of purity, of vigor, and in the open air.
The characters are drawn with vivid.
ness and vitality that are greatly
pleasing to the reader, and are made
to think, speak, and act without
guile, and with the naturalness of the
uDspoiled man and woman, The effort
throughout is directed to that which is
clean and, ms the author says. ''to
creep toward the eternal verties.
The author has done first class work IN
the story, and the reader is sure to en-
JOY and appreciate it.
