THE SIGN: By Mrs Romily Fedden CKatherine
Waldo Douglass. Dodd, Mead & Co, publishers,
New York City.
Three artists are spending the summer
in Brittany. and through their eyes the
author permits us to see that quaint
French north coast country with its
beautiful girls and its toil-hardened. pre-
maturely aged men and women, its vas,
wealth of legend, stored up for many
centuries, its quaint superstitions, and
the great beauty of landscape.
The plot arranges itself around a
handsome young peasant woman, who,
believing herself to be inspired, calls
upon the dissoiute village folk to repent.
In its narrative and dramatic strength
and in its fine Interpretation of the Soils
of foreign race, this is the kind OF
novel that arouses the enthusiasm of all
those who welcome the best in modern
fiction.
